The 4-O-4 gets detailed


With a fresh coat of paint and lettering, the airliner looks ready for take-off.
The Martin 4-O-4 airliner is looking as good as new with a fresh coat of paint and new lettering and details.  The aircraft is painted to look line one of the prototypes that rolled out the Middle River plant sixty years ago.  The plane may never fly again, but it still looks ready for an excursion to an East Coast city, much as it did in its commercial heyday.
Sign company crew apply striping.
Thanks once again to the generous support of the MS2 Division of Lockheed Martin which made this rebirth of the iconic airliner possible.
