If you aren't going through the pylons while inverted and flat spinning, he won't be impressed... Wink  Grin

Lovely shots but I am afraid flying upside down is more of Ozzy's liking  Grin

Infact he prolly would have flown upside down towing a B747  Grin

Pretty big for her time. She has a long run to get up to liftoff speed. Really flies nice though and fun to land.

The Martin 130 was spectacular for its time, much more modern than the Admiral, sleek and elegant by flying-boat standards. It was a high-wing monoplane, with a span of 39.6 meters (130 feet), a length of 27.7 meters (90 feet 10 inches), an empty weight of 11,502 kilograms (25,363 pounds), and was powered by four P&W R-1830-S2A5G radial engines with 620 kW (830 HP) each.
