Nice S51. When you can't afford a real P-51 but still got money to burn.

Beautiful Bird! Nicely Done! 🇺🇸✈️😊

Great to see a woman working on airplanes. I worked at American Airlines Alliance Base for 17 years as an AMT and during the whole time I was there I don’t believe we had more than 3 female AMTs.

I ❤ THE GRAND-FATHERS WORK ! Patrick from 24H LE MANS, FRANCE !

The BF-109 was a great aircraft no doubt, but the landing gear always had such a fragile look.

Lousy lighting; couldn't see any detail on the engine.

Thats so sick

А ведь полетит?!😢😂

Oh those growling piston engines when the plane goes away. Such beautiful music. Thank goodness they didn't change it to turboprops !

Due to the needed parts and also maintenance it had to be retired and we have other water tankers that far superceded these old birds and the first ones are the LOCKHEED C-130 older models that are in use today and the others that are used are the C-215 ones from CANADAIR and are ready when needed.

Very Nice indeed 👍

Awesome...! The best scaled replica of the mighty Mustang. Period. Cheers.

Very cool! I feel like the Germans are unfairly criticized for their actions during WWII. It's really great to see their history preserved and achievements celebrated!

Please keep making frequent updates on project progress. Thank you

Un Daimler 601 restaurato da vintage V12s?

I.....I just can't! It sounds too much like a Corvette!

This plane is going to the BC Aviation Museum at the Victoria International Airport

I think these units were the peak of old flying boat technology. They were the best planes and were able to do several unique jobs/functions in use. Like all things that work or are not making someone a lot of cash they were overnight relegated to history with only a few exceptions still around or in use. I hope that someone brings these planes back and put them into some sort of specific use, complete with all the modern advances to make them fly better. And last a long time. I still think they have a use as passenger service planes, ones that provide a unique type of trip. Imagine sleeping on a plane while flying to your destination.

Für solche Dinge Geld ausgeben nicht für Krieg

Martin Mars.....fire stopper

I really don’t understand why they refuse to use these planes Coulson has six of these they are way bigger and are capable of knocking out a fire before it gets going. It makes no sense to me

Hi Folks, We need a new fleet if these with fanjet engines (over wings?) and re-designed for payload, anti-corrosion, and longevity in mind. Planet Earth needs several thousand of these to operate as a global consortium. That way they can folow the sun Very respectfully, R.

If I was a rich aviation enthusiast, like the late Didi Mateschitz, I would absolutely buy this thing and try to keep it flying as long as possilbe. Including the water bombing functionality.

Of the original 7 built. There were two of these moored at Sproat Lake, east of Port Alberni. I was having in lunch in Youbou at a pub when I heard this deafening roar and scrambled out of my chair to go look. It was one of our Martin Mars scooping up water out of the lake. You talk about one thrilled gal to have witnessed this personally. I now have a life-long long love of this magnificent aircraft. Sure could use it now if the airplane's maintenance was financially viable, but unfortunately it is not. The other issue is it must have timely access a lake to take on water to fight wildfires. From the first airplane put into service in 1941 after Pearl Harbour to the present day, the history is extraordinary. We will almost surely never see the likes of her again in our lifetimes. I will always LOVE this aircraft ♥

I saw Kermit Weeks from Fantasy of Flight museum in Florida in the co-pilots seat. I think he has the other remaining Mars. I don't believe his is airworthy.

Meier motors ?

What a beautiful Aircraft, yes it would be an excellent museum attraction. I hope it does end up in a museum.

My father in law was a flight engineer on the Martin Mars. Squadron VR8 Navel air transport service

The martinmars was built in Baltimore MD. At the martin Marietta aircraft co.

They should restore it to its original configuration and put it in a museum.

Timeless

After the one that crashed in Miami, FL when it lost its wings, I am scared of them

What a beautiful old girl she is.

sweet my dad had a widgeon back in the late 60s

They don't exactly leap into the sky do they?

I would buy it in a heartbeat

LADS this is the biggest flying boat we will ever see on market

That is certainly one huge aircraft and would have been absolutely humongous back in 1945 .

Come on Kermit, you need to buy her!🙏

splendid 🙂✌️️️!!! Find out the secret - P r o m o S M!!

For an asking price of a mere $5M, you too can own this gorgeous aircraft! Problem is, it'd take you another $3-5M to fly the thing...between maintenance, training, fuel and (if you can even get it) insurance. But if a person won the $500M lotto and had $8-10M of chump change lying around, then this would be a real hoot on a fly-in fishing trip with about 100 of your closest friends.

Coulson Aviation did not convert the aircraft to fight forest fires. That was done by MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. Coulson's eventually bought the aircraft and did some modernization.

Now I know what I want for Xmas lol

I’m definitely interested. That is if you agree to zero down, zero percent interest, and a 130 year term.
