Martin Museum in Maryland Seeks to Obtain Martin Mars

December 22, 2006 10:45 am

Since the announcement several weeks ago by TimberWest of Vancouver, B.C. of their plans to sell the gigantic Martin Mars flying boats in their ownership, there has been a lot of buzz as to where they may be going when the sales are made.

The Glenn L. Martin Aviation Museum hopes to bring a Mars home to Middle River where the planes were built. The Jeffersonian.com’s Lauren Taylor reports on the efforts in this mornings edition.  Take time to read it and find out how you can help!

UPDATE: The Glenn L. Martin Museum has a site set up for the effort. Please click here to be connected.

Beccy Cole, making Australia Proud

This song is obviously written in response to fans that oppose her support of Australian troops involved in the Middle-East. I think it’s brilliant, touching, and should make our Australian members proud. I know as an American, it makes me proud that Australia is an friend and Ally. And those of you that disagree should remember that those young men and women forced to fight a war, regardless of side or nationality, didn’t cause the war. Politicians and religious leader (often one and the same) did. So if you oppose the war, go after the leaders with your verbal abuse, not the soldiers.
