Right down among the trees...
Thanks for the information - I didn't know about the Marshall Mars. On the
flight down to California apparently they lost an engine on Hawaii Mars - so a donation came from Philipine Mars. I don't know if that has been replaced yet. "Dave" wrote in message ...

I saw a program on the company that used them, a couple years ago, and I swear that I remembered they had the last _TWO_. Did something happen to one of them, or am I imagining things, (again?) g and they have always just had one? -- Jim in NC I recall reading somewhere that they were down to one - but can't cite a reference. Perhaps one was down for repairs for awhile. It appears that a total of six were built. See the Wikipedia report he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRM_Mars Dave |
