Martin Mars

I love watching the Martin Mars. The videographer was running early on to get in position, accounting for the heavy breathing early on. The footage shows the Hawaii Mars while it was based at Lake Elsinore near Hemet-Ryan last December.

Thanks to a friend who told me "The lake the MARS is dipping out of is actually Diamond Valley Resevoir, 3 miles south of Ryan AAB and 18 miles east of Lake Elisnor. This was during the final days of the contract, they were doing foam test drops up near Poppet Flats, about 13 miles northeast of Ryan AAB.
