I've no motivation to travel. I do like watching the skies, though. From my back deck:
I watched it go by!
From Oakville (maybe a refuel?) it went to Detroit.

The next day... August 11th, they flew to Arkansas. It's gotta be a long trip by helicopter!
That's something like 2500m!

The Hawaii Mars was one of six prototypes produced by the U.S. navy in the 1940s. This one was based in British Columbia at the end of its life. It was converted to a water bomber.
The Martin Mars retired!
Earlier this year, Coulson Aviation, the company that purchased the Hawaii Martin Mars in 2007, announced it is donating the aircraft to the B.C. Aviation Museum, calling it a "grand ending to a great history."The Hawaii #MartinMars has made it to Greater Victoria! CHEK News video captured around 6:15 p.m. Sunday shows the moments the Hawaii water bomber flies over Patricia Bay in formation with the #Snowbirds. ✈️ @CHEK_News pic.twitter.com/Do1vQq8BJj

I do like to travel but not on helicopters.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Great shot of that helicopter which did certainly go a long distance for one. Strange. Loved the airshow and realize the sound isn't anything near what it's like in person!
10 to 6 here, Wednesday morning, the fire siren sent off a while ago, and just now a chopper has landed in the large local park at the north end of our small town. No doubt a medical flight. Those water bomber pilots are brave beyond my imagination. Love the flight radar app. and what huge distances. However, Josh tells me the distances in Canada are all huge !!!
