Downwind66 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Was browsing the warbirds aircraft section of SOH, came across an "On Mark Marksman" twin engine executive aircraft! When reading the article, after WWII a company by the name of ON MARK ENGINEERING was converting surplus Douglas Invader A-26 airframes into civilian aircraft for executive use. Out of 60 surplus frames, On Mark was only able to successfully use a dozen of them for their new adventure!! I already had some military style Invader A-26 aircraft in my hangar, so I was tempted to say the least! Here's what I got now! End of story! If you hear me "out and about" in the vicinity of Charleston AFB/Intl KCHS, give me a wave!

NMLW Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 It would be nice to see how they outfitted the interior for executive use. Bet they had to have deep pockets to pay the fuel bill too. :cool: :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Ian - Is that what one of these look like inside? That is nice, mine doesn't look that good??:rolleyes: Thanks for sharing!

Downwind66 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 I agree Blair, but as Larry said above, I bet this is a gas guzzler. It would probably be better, just to go out and buy a modern day business jet! Me? I don't have those kind of worries, just all in the imagination! Have a super day!

Rupert Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 SWEET!!!! Michael PS, Rick those old radials cost almost as much for oil burned or leaked as they do for gas. But they are truly sweet to hear and to fly! Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
