It was forced to return back to Sproat lake less than an hour into its flight due to continued engine problems. Not expected to try again for at least a week. Weather and mechanical problems dependent.
The city of Port Alberni has a broken heart over the departure of the last Mars Bomber. Seeing them several times over the years on our trips to see family there. I recall it flying right over our heads while we were out on the lake. My sisters extended family member was a pilot for them. 🥹
That guy stating it's the last flying boat is wrong, Japan has 8 modern turbo prop rescue flying boats that has more than double the power of the Mars.
Did it get away today?
