Opus, I am very, very sorry to hear there is but one left. Would sure be a hit at an airshow, if said show could be staged adjacent to open water.

Wonderful video and interview. Love water bombers!
Thanks for posting. You can actually see the Mars on Google Earth. Hope this works. Mars Water Bomber Sporat Lake BC

My favorite water bomber video. Lots of yoke and rudder in this one.

Rusty, thanks for the link to the Spanish bombers. They don't have the majesty of the huge Mars, but damn they are nimble, and that is some wonderful flying!
