I nearly clicked "dislike" at 1:06 until I saw the Martin behind the smaller plane.

Hey nice video but I was the pilot in the first plane, as you say "woop wooping" you.... just so you know, it's not that easy going around you in the middle of our take-off path.

They're working,,, get the hell out of their flight path!

Believe it or not we were right next to shore.

What is awesome is to see both Mars flying in formation side by side. I live near thier home base in BC Canada and they are the most awesome aircraft ever!

[pizzledizzlewizzle]

jeez looks like he come close to that shore line

[MrBeresford]

Nice video just as it cranks it the slow turn going past you. You see why he's doing his turn too! Nice with the volume of those engines.

Enjoy the services of our waterbomber....Mr. Coulson and his crew at your service.

We were there at the same place same time in frount of the obrian arm. That was the coolest thing to see. I am a Martin Mars fan. Great Video Thanks

You wouldn't believe the awesome feeling of power being this close as it went by. 10,000 hp. It was close enough we felt the wind from the props and the vibration from the motors. WOW!

Check out videos bcfs 2007,bcfs 2003 and airattack(add birddog) and see both Mars at work at home.

I can't even fathom the skill it takes to fly a monster like that--full of water no less--so close to the surface & terrain like that. Those pilots are amazing. I can barely keep a C-172 doing what I want!
