Planes and Choppers Photos

It's Lake Elsinore (E at the end). The two remaining Mars boats have been modified back to JRM-1 configuration with Wright R3350 engines. The JRM-3s were JRM-1s whose original R-3350 engines had been replaced with Pratt & Whitney R-4360s by the Navy at NAS Alameda. More power (500 hp more per engine) but the R-4360 had reliability issues and the Canadian company operating the airplanes as air tankers elected to go back to the R-3350s (of which they obtained a large supply)
