I was living at the lake the year this video was made. Love these planes. Feeling sad, they are retired now.
Wonderful presentation. Thank you. "Low and slow," something the 'modern' jet tankers are not as capable of doing.
I was lucky enough to spend many days growing up at the bomber base during the FIFT days in the 1980’s 🧡 This brought back some great memories.
They came over me. Like a rain on great central lake. Amazing
I worked on the titling and graphic elements for THIS VERY video as done by Triad Communication Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Roland Loughhead and Gay Ludlow did ALL the original camera work and post production and flew with the FIFT crew while holding large and heavy Sony Betacam SP cameras stable by hand or on the shoulder. Video was captured originally on Betacam SP and converted to DPS Velocity digital editor for post production and rendering.
What an experience! The original video was MUCH better looking than this RUclips transfer since the final SDTV 720 by 480 pixel render was high quality digital video. The edited master still looks high definition even by today's 2019/2020-era standards even when uprezzed to 1080p or 4k using a motion compensated video scaler!

StarGateSG7 More than 20 years ago I bought this NTSC VHS tape in the Bomber Base shop near Sproat Lake BC. My intention was to share this outstanding documentary with other people, without any profit but as a tribute. Also to you!
Great planes. Amazing. Getting old though.
Great historical documentary, but it is historical. On August 11, 2024 the Hawaii Mars made her last flight, landing in Pat Bay to go to the BC Aviation Museum. The Philippine Mars is destined for the Pima Air Museum, the days as firefighters are over.
2:20 That's beautiful.
thanks for the upload!

Some years earlier they were picking up water/practicing from the one lake , they were climbing and turning at the same elevation as we were it was impressive to see down the top of there hull. Those were the days when the skies were Blue and not full of the sprayed haze that now dries our our province, where the population is oblivious to what is being done too them!
What ARE you talking about? "sprayed haze that now dries our our province"??
The Hawaii Mars will be going to the BC Aviation Museum at the Victoria Airport on Aug 11 2024
@@barontaylor7139 correct 😊👍🏻
CBC did a segment on this bomber a few days ago and I also heard a few old-timer engineers want to resurrect this bomber design into an updated version that can carry more than double the old "mere" 7000 Gallons. The engineers I talked to also want to create a cango-and-passenger-friendly version for short haul cargo and passenger flights using much newer engines.
Since Victoria, BC-based Viking Air resurrected the deHavilland Beaver waterplane design few years ago, I would not be surprised that this workhorse design could ALSO be resurrected with much better engines, newer and stronger aluminum superstructure and much heavier cargo-carrying capacity.
At 15,000 Gallons (i.e. 125,149 lbs), it would make a formidable short haul water landing capable cargo carrier and fire-fighting machine! I hope that reconstruction efforty goes well! It would be GREAT to see this design fly in a modern configuration.
