5/ Fun facts:
Philippine and Hawaii were nicknamed “white tail” and “red tail” as they had their tails painted differently to make it easier to tell them apart.Philippine, delivered in 1946 is actually the older of the two planes. It was the second production plane after the Hawaii Mars (I) was lost in a fire. Hawaii Mars II was the last plane built. Also delivered in 1946. They were both converted to water bombers in 1959 and 1960.

4/ Still on shore at the bomber base is Philippine Mars. Whereas the Hawaii Mars’ last work as a water bomber was in 2015, Philippine has not flown since 2007. Together, the two planes could bring an immense one-two punch. After it retired in 2012, Philippine was repainted in its original Navy blue. It is now being made airworthy again to fly to the USA and retire in Arizona. I can hardly wait for it to be in the water again! #PortAlberni #YYJ #Oldplanes #HawaiiMars #SproatLake #WWII #BCWildfire

3/ The planes have become icons and are extremely beloved in #PortAlberni. They were excellent fire fighters. They could extinguish or damp down a fire enough for ground crews to tackle with just one drop. Their sound is unmistakable. People know it well and will run outside of their home or workplace to see it fly by as soon as they hear the rumble. The pilots often flew directly over town as a “hello” or “goodbye”. #YYJ #Oldplanes #HawaiiMars #SproatLake #WWII #BCWildfire

2/ These planes are extremely impressive both from a distance and up close. The scale of everything on them is bigger than normal. We got there just as the work crew was starting their day. They have a floating dock that they pull out to work on the engines while it is moored. Today they were working on Engine 1 I believe. #MartinMars #YYJ #Oldplanes #HawaiiMars #SproatLake #WWII #BCWildfire

1/ Time for a #MartinMars picture thread!! Went for a nice morning paddle on Sproat Lake where Hawaii Mars (II) and Phillipine Mars have been based since being converted to flying tankers/water bombers in the 1960s. Hawaii, in red, will be flown to its forever home just a couple 100km away at the BC Aviation Museum near #YYJ in Victoria, BC. It has fought fires all over North America, but mainly on Vancouver Island.

It isn’t set in stone yet but if I know Wayne Coulson’s sense of timing, he’s probably going to make B.C. Day, August 5th, the day of the last flight of the Hawaii Mars.
This will be a very memorable summer. I am going to try to get as much time in watching the crews test and bring both planes up to flight worthiness as I can.
There is nothing else like them and it will be a summer-long celebration!
