Mars Bomber Drops Payload At Canada Place by philm.biz

The 'Hawaii Mars' fire fighting water bomber, which has been anchored next to Canada Place for the last three days,  put on a spectacular flyby demonstration today showing how it skims the water to load up and then performing a precision drop of it's water payload.

Apparently the 'Hawaii Mars' waterbomber is second in size only to the infamous Spruce Goose.

The four engined plane can carry up to 7200 gallons of water which it drops as a 'wet blanket' on forest fires.
