The Philippine Mars is back on the water for the first time in a decade. The waterbomber was towed down the ramp at the Sproat Lake Bomber Base on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024. The last Martin Mars waterbomber in flying condition will soon head to its permanent home at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. Crews had it on the lake last Nov. 4-5 for some taxiing and testing. It was brought out of the water and back on land Wednesday so crews could work on one of the four engines.
