The Martin Mars, a giant among aircraft, has been more than just a firefighting tool-it's been a symbol of hope, resilience, and strength for the residents of Port Alberni. For decades, this majestic aircraft has stood as a testament to human ingenuity, battling wildfires across North America and saving countless lives and landscapes. Its massive wings have cast a protective shadow over our town, and its roar has echoed through our valleys, a comforting sound of safety and support.
But the Martin Mars is not just an aircraft; it’s a part of our identity. It has connected generations, from those who watched in awe as it soared overhead to those who worked tirelessly to maintain it. The sight of the Martin Mars lifting off from Sproat Lake has been a familiar and beloved spectacle, a source of pride for everyone in Port Alberni.
