    Enough aluminum in a SPAD to make two T-28s. Enough power for two, also.

    Great fun watching the Mars land & take off in Vancouver Harbor years ago......seemed like it took 10 minutes to lift off and another 10 to return....(Vancouver Harbor is about 2 miles across....)

    You would not want to be under this airplane when it releases a full load. I saw it flatten a wooden cabin in a demonstration. The best water bomber of all of them.

    Fabled water bomber once used to fight B.C. wildfires on sale for $5M


    The Platinum Fighter Sales listing says the one for sale, the Hawaii Mars II, is the only airworthy example of the plane left in the world. It last flew in 2016 and is currently in Sproat Lake near Port Alberni, B.C.

    Another genius idea. They did the same thing with an F-84F (RF-84K).

    Never knew this existed. Is it some sort of a lifting body? Wings look too small...

    Symbol on the wings is for Boeing's Phantomworks, their equivalent of L-M's Skunkworks. Phantomworks also handled the X-37B.
