The day before the final flight of this mighty red and white giant the Hawaii Mars was being sent out for a special mission, a series of air-to-air join-ups. I was lucky enough to be the first in line with my Bell 206 photo ship. What a day that was. C-FLYL, the Hawaii Mars pictured here stirring up the dark waters of Sproat Lake, Van Island, BC.

Hawaii Mars was photographed on the grass outside the British Columbia Aviation Museum on August 31, 2024. The aircraft landed on the ocean at Patricia Bay on August 11 and was later hauled up the wartime RCAF seaplane ramp Patricia Bay and towed across Victoria International Airport to the museum over the following week. The Mars is now parked next to two other aerial fire fighting aircraft in the BCAM collection: Conair Convair 580 C-FHKF (Tanker No. 55) and Douglas A-26 C-FBMS (Tanker No. 22). The museum says that additional firefighting aircraft will be added to its collection.
