Martinsburg plant stalls as SJ30-2 jets delayed to 1996
Lino Aircraft's Martinsburg facility in the Rockefeller Center site expects production to begin in the second quarter of 1996, after repeated delays. Pam Cusic notes no workers or jets yet, while financing from Lockheed, WV investors and state loans sustain the project amid doubts over the joint venture Sino Swearingen. The company reports 115 orders at about 4 million each with deposits.
