Mind if I play too Neal? This has been posted here before but it fits so nicely into this thread I didn't think folks would mind. Straight from Gerald Martin himself.

Unforunately the CAF lost that FM-2 at Houston a few years back.

I didn't know that -- I'm a long way from Texas. I'm very sorry to hear about it -- I have good memories of the aircraft...

I tried to purchase it myself, but it was sold to an "annonymous buyer" after I was told that "we don't sell airplanes."
Trust me, you don't want any photos. Very rough, very sad.
