For the last couple of months TSG has been following the saga of the Philippine Mars, the last airworthy WWII era Martin JRM Mars. After a distinguished military and firefighting career the giant flying boat was sold to be put on display in Arizona at the Pima Air & Space Museum. The final flight included a stopover in Alameda so we made a beeline up there to catch a glimpse of the old bird and witness her last takeoff.
