Thanks, Guys!

It could be N8394H. I thought I remembered it having a glass nose, but I'm not 100% sure.

Well Martin, I think we are doing good so far. Very good boy... :D Will we see you in Ohio in a few weeks?

If anyone wants to help out here please do. Especially old photos of On-Mark's and other exec. versions in all their glory.

I've got to say that N256H is a study in how to take a good looking aircraft and turn it into an UGLY pig !

Question: Did the Marksman use the cockpit enclosure from another aircraft? It looks like a DC-6 windshield..really mucks up the lines of an otherwise slick bird. I'm assuming it was done for pressurization purposes.
