- There's a lot of really good videos out there about the Hawaii Mars making it's last flight to become an exhibit at the BC Aviation Museum. But this one... is mine.
It pretty much covers my whole August 11th of plane spotting. Which included meeting fellow TH-camr and all around wonderful person @leftcoastcorrie
If you haven't checked out her channel, you should!

Really nice footage Simon, it looks like you got to pack a ton of spotting into your island adventure. Great shot of the Hawaii Mars making its final landing ever, and cool to see the mix of all the other action going on!
@@TheHDAviation Thank you! As always, after it was over I thought about all the better spots I could have been. But I'm just glad I was able to be there at all. There was nothing like hearing it in person.
Well done my friend! I appreciate the cameo, thank you. Such a pleasure to plane spot with you and to catch history in action. Your video and narration is exceptional, thanks for sharing. I wish you much success on your TH-cam journey. Best….Corrie
@@leftcoastcorrie Thank you Corrie!
I grew up close to the Mars water bomber base on Sproat lake. I saw countless landings and takeoffs all my life. It breaks my heart to see her doing its last ever landing in Pat Bay. Soon the second bomber Philippine Mars ( in navy blue livery) will be restored to flying condition leaving my area for a long final flight to Tucson Arizona museum. Sproat Lake will be a lot emptier without these big birds around. but Im glad their going to museums, finally. I want come to Sidney to see the Hawaii Mars on display in October.
@@rEdf196 I look forward to visiting it too. It's sad they won't be flying anymore, but it's amazing they did such dangerous work and survived to retire. I'm happy about that.
Awesome. So sorry I missed it
@@GregBell58 a DA-40 flew in and I used my DSLR to check the tail number. I was certain it was you, but it was a Canadian registration.
We were there with you watching
@@susanlane6663 I'm glad you found my video!
with a stomac full of Poutine, I could not sleep at all.
@@PeterNGloor is that why I didn't sleep that well?
Can anyone tell us where the plane will be after this landing? Tied up in the harbour?
@@PeterNGloor they put the beaching gear on, and it's currently up on land near the seaplane base. They will eventually move it over to the museum for display.
@@SimonButler Ok, thank you, so there is a ramp someplace wide enough for the plane. Hope somebody took a vid of this move.
@@PeterNGloor if you look up the BC Aviation Museum TH-cam channel, I think they have a short video about it.
@@SimonButler I checked the website, but found nothing, just the vid of the landing. Last scene was when she was docked in the harbour
