Default En mulig Trip Rapport - Hawaii Mars

Allt er ikke paa plass ennaa, men viljen er paa plass, noen sponsorer er sikret, men de er klart Hipsters, saa Sud may object

Men her er Programmet:

The Hawaii Mars Forever Home Arrival Flight to the BC Aviation Museum is Sunday, August 11th, 2024, with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds!
AUGUST 6, 2024, VICTORIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: The BC Aviation Museum is thrilled to finally announce the Hawaii Martin Mars water bomber’s final flight to its forever home is Sunday, August 11, 2024. The aircraft is to become the crown jewel in the museum’s growing BC Wildfire Aviation exhibit.
The public is invited to witness this once in a lifetime event, like seeing the space shuttle launch, as this is not only the last flight of this Mighty Martin Mars, but it will also arrive in formation with all nine planes of the amazing Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team.
The museum warmly thanks everyone at Coulson Aviation for their incredible hard work in preparing and delivering the aircraft for donation.
The Mars Saved BC, Now BC Saves The Mars!
PAT BAY ARRIVAL TIME ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 2024:
Approximately between 6pm to 6:30pm, weather dependant.
FLIGHT ROUTE:
Along the east coast of Vancouver Island.
TRACK THE FLIGHT LIVE:
Flightradar24 is a global flight tracking service on which the public can follow the Hawaii Mars using its aircraft registration code CFLYL.
The museum’s Facebook/Instagram accounts will also provide live flight details prior to arrival.
BEST PLACES TO VIEW THE LANDING AT PAT BAY:
Please refer to bcam.net in the next 24-48hrs for updated land and water viewing maps, plus to be aware of areas closed to the public.
THE FLIGHT ROUTE SIGNIFICANCE:
The Hawaii Mars final flight might pass over several BC west coast forest communities to
commemorate the forest industry's original establishment of the unique Martin Mars water bomber program in the early 1960s
COULSON AVIATION STATEMENT:
We are proud to see the Hawaii Mars make its final journey to the British
Columbia Aviation Museum. Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to
prepare the aircraft for this significant moment. The enthusiastic response from
both the local and aviation communities has been incredible. For the safety of our
crew, the aircraft, and the Sproat Lake boating community, we won't be sharing
specific flight details, but we look forward to welcoming this historic plane to its
new home at the museum.
— Coulson Aviation
SNOWBIRDS STATEMENT:
"The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are proud to be able to fly alongside this icon of Canadian aerial
forest fighting as it takes its final journey to Victoria and its new home at the British Columbia Aviation
Museum. The Snowbirds salute the brave firefighters, in the air and on the ground, that work to
protect our country from wildfires and we are excited to see this piece of aviation history be preserved
and on display to honour and inspire aviators past, present and future."
- Major Brent Handy, Snowbird 1, Team Lead
ICONIC:
For over 5 decades the Mars program had an incredibly positive impact in Canadian aviation forest
firefighting, and the aircraft is beloved by many especially since the Hawaii Mars is one of only two
remaining. As the largest water bomber in the world with a 200-foot wingspan, the aircraft will become
one of the biggest attractions in Victoria and on Vancouver Island. In its firefighting days it could drop
more than 25,000 litres of water on each run!
GLOBAL FANS:
International interest in the final flight and the Hawaii Mars has made it the number one international
vintage aviation story. For example, there are already over 5 million hits on the museum’s social
media.
SUPPORT THE RESCUE!
Please donate to the official GoFundMe campaign: www.bcam.net

Ting falt på plass, tidlig opp er ikke noe problem når espressoen har høy nok oktav, Washington State Patrol hadde ikke stått opp ennå, Google mente 1 time og 33 minutter, men BMW’en(ble lokal oppgradering i gate) klokket inn i Someone style 1 time og 10 minutter uten bøter.

Den klassiske M/F Coho fra 1961 vugget over til Victoria og i immigrasjonen satt en «Fellow PropellerHead» når jeg svarte watch the final flight of Mars Hawaii - var det et stort smil og see you there dude I watched the first test flight !! Slik skal immigrasjon fungere

Kompisen til KnutW, Henry Tenby, var med og lagde visst film. Jeg skal sjekke om jeg finner den igjen. KnutW skulle sikkert ønsket at han var med... eller ikke.

Jeg har vært høyst ufrivillig statist i Hr. Tenbys filmer før, og har ikke noe som helst ønske om videre deltakelse. Dog skulle jeg gjerne vært med på siste tur med Mars. Valgets kvaler…

En flott film, utrolig artig å se operasjonen denne flotte maskinen, men det var ikke fra gårsdagens siste flyvning - tror dette var fra 2010. Filmen er i fra Coal Harbour Vancouver, men morro uansett.

Det var noe logistikk som burde falle paa plass, soendag kveld / mandag morgen har rimelig trøkk paa fergen mellom Victoria og Port Angeles, saa “walk on” + buss ble et godt alternativ (som skulle vise seg aa vaere et sjakk trekk).

Av og til dukker det opp skip her inne, denne er en skikkelig klassiker:

[IMG]IMG_2880 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

MF Coho ble satt i trafikk i 1961 - ren ungsau i forhold til LN-MOW (og meg og helt sikkert LN-KOG) uansett en tur med en slik klassiker er en god start og aarstallet er ogsaa det samme som en Martin Mars Hawaii starte brannslukking paa Vancouver Island.

Om Learjet, Savipix oensker seg en tur for aa studere Logistikk og Laste Effektivtet, look no further !! Å se på denne gjengen losse og laste biler, semitrailere, motor sykkler er skikkelig underholdning, uten baugport men side doer 3 trailere av - 15 biler paa - you get the idea !!

Det er skikkelig dønninger som kommer inn fra Stillehavet, saa det vugges over ! Vel inne i Victoria ser man fort at dette er en flyplass ogsaa:

A Beaver in the Morning keep you happy:

[IMG]IMG_2879 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Som nevnt i en annen traad var Immigrasjon inn i Kanada en deling av Martin Mars Hawaii opplevelser og forventninger (og alle forventninger ble oppfylt)

Noen innslag fra sponsorene (har sett værre reklame innslag):

[IMG]IMG_2901 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Twotter - disse var tidligere «snubnose» kort nese - men ikke bare er nesen Pinocchio Style men flaaten er utvidet fra 2 til minst 5:

[IMG]IMG_2902 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Til tross for at LN-MOW graater hver gang han ser noe med e-Power, saa kommer disse (jeg har bestillt billett allerede):

[IMG]IMG_2889 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Men en skulle jo ferdes med buss (Dobbel dekker) og spasere noen 20.000 skritt ++ saa mat og drikke maa paa plass. En av dagens sponsorer har ikke bare flyselskap, men Pub ogsaa:

[IMG]IMG_2886 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Denne fyren har kontroll:

[IMG]IMG_2897 by Finn Erik Edvardsen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Selv om det ikke går frem av glasset er det en Fat Tug IPA fra Driftwood Brewery:

Og en liten forsmak:

Rett etter at 9 Snowbirds passerte i Low Pass (og viser litt om motlys / lys forholdene

Sakte dukker det frem mere:

Dette er tatt rett før siste landingen, den passerte nokså lavt over oss mot vest og tok en siste sving før den landet mot øst.
