As one of only two remaining Martin JRM Mars flying boats, the Philippine Mars was making its final journey from near Vancouver to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, where it will be preserved for future generations.
The giant seaplane’s route included a stop in San Francisco, California, for customs clearance and to comply with the requirement to stop before sunset.
The flying boat’s journey concluded in Arizona on the Lake Pleasant, where they pulled her out of the water. Soon it will be disassembled and transported to the Pima Air and Space Museum Tucson.
The final flight of the Philippine Mars was being led by Captains Peter Killin and Todd Davis.
