Possibilities to think about:
1) The Coulson Martin Mars is scheduled to fly into Oshkosh (the seaplane base)
2) Maybe the blue Martin Mars might accompany it on it's way to Pensacola for the U.S. Navy.
3) "Doc" will get signed off, receive it's final coat of mirror like polishing and make Oshkosh and several other shows.
4) The recently completed A-20 Havoc will make a few shows
5) The XP-82 might get finished and make a few shows.
6) Tinker Belle is being repainted and will make the airshow circuit.
Then there are all the fighters, trainers, and L-Birds to think about.
The Mars team was in Oshkosh this week and I can tell you first hand that the Blue aircraft was not part of the discussion.
From the Captains mouth himself, they still don't know when the Blue bird is headed south.
