1/n I am headed down to the harbour in an hour to stake out a spot to record the farewell flyby! I will post pictures in this thread.

Fingers crossed that the weather holds so they can takeoff!

This is the beginning of the last transit of this type […]

6:53 ₫ Instagram - • = 91 44 coulsonaviation Today marks the start of a historio journey for the Philippine Mars! Departing from its long-time home at Sproat Lake in Port Alberni around 9:30 am this morning, the iconic aircraft will take to the skies one last time if we have cooperative weather. Port Alberni residents can catch a final flyby at Harbour Quay - don't miss this special moment! Its flight path includes a stop in San Francisco and a journey along the coast to San Diego for special events and photo opportunities. From there, the Philippine Mars will head to its forever home at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. Once it arrives, it will be carefully disassembled at its factory production joints and transported to the museum, where its legacy will live on for generations to come. Stay tuned as we share updates on this momentous trip! * #coulsonaviation #philippinemartinmars 7 minutae san
