  1. The entourage just made a left turn toward Lake Havasu! Is that perhaps where Philippine will land?

    Oh... now they've turned right again, around a hill and going back toward Phoenix. Truly no idea whether they are flying with Philippine or not. She has not reappeared on the map.

  2. Looks like she is being escorted by a P-51 Mustang and a Canadian registered Van's RV-8 as well!

    Would be quite a sight to see! She's getting a proper send off for her retirement!

  3. She is around Salton City now. A super cool Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer 4 engine plane just came out from Phoenix meet her!

    I’m not seeing Philippine on the tracker right now but she'll probably pop up again soon.

  4. She looks to be headed over or just south of Bakersfield in the next hour.

    Unlike last time, she appears to be fully trackable on flightradar24. The thought is she will be landing at Lake Pleasant but specific information is being kept secret by the company in an effort to keep the circus to a minimum.

  5. 🚨MARTIN PHILIPPINE MARS FINAL FLIGHT RIGHT NOW🚨

    This is it! She is being towed into San Francisco Bay right now in preparation for departure and her final journey to Arizona!

    Comments on the Skytrac link below say she is headed to Lake Pleasant, Arizona, just north of Phoenix, but this has not been confirmed by the company.

    She should be on Flight Tracker the whole time this time Her call sign is CFLYK.

  6. Martin Mars update! As I was coming back into town yesterday afternoon I caught a glimpse through the trees of #PhillipineMars on a test flight with, presumably, all four engines borrowed from #HawaiiMars now installed!

    Even though the navy blue paint job makes it hard to see her, the silhouette is unmistakable. This is a picture from my Mom's bedroom window. Just a speck against the clouds, but proof that she was in the air!

    My son was also excited because he finally got to see it in the air a little closer up this time when it flew over the house. He doesn't remember seeing it as a child so he's been dying to get a close view!

    He knows the rumble sound though. Like all good #PortAlberni kids of the past 60 years have!

    Perhaps another attempt to get to Arizona is coming soon. We'll keep our ears open!
