She was looking fantastic on the water! Love the detailing they've done with the original US Navy paint job. #PhilippineMars #SproatLake #Canoe #PortAlberni #History #Aviation #USNavy

It's a big plane. We had to touch her to say goodbye properly! She is likely going to fly out sometime around the 16th to Arizona's Pima Air and Space Museum. This plane has been on (or beside) our lake all 47 years of my life and then some. I will miss her (and her sister #HawaiiMars) very much!!

It's still got some parts that show its age! Like the little patch on the bottom where they weren't able to paint it 15 years ago because it was sitting on stands. #HawaiiMars #PhilippineMars #SproatLake #Canoe #PortAlberni #History #Aviation #USNavy

They have the GoPro ready and mounted on one pontoon for some epic video! Did I mention this is a large aircraft?

A final video as we paddle to shore.
Goodbye Philippine. You served us so well and will continue to amaze people for decades to come! This time in the dry air of the Arizona desert!

@wlf_warren many many! Built in 1945. Spent more than a decade transporting troops and goods across the ocean and then firefighting in BC from the 60s to 2000.
