The Hawaii Martin Mars, famous for putting out fires with a single flyover, will find its new home at North Saanich’s BC Aviation Museum in the fall.
“You can see the DNA of the Mars story runs through this Island,” said Richard Mosdell, Save the Mars project lead.
The 60-by-36-metre Martin Mars will fly down the east coast of the Island before it arrives at the Victoria Airport for its final resting place.
