Default Martin Mars on Lake Elsinore

Has anyone posted a picture of the Martin Mars on Lake Elsinore? If so
could you repost as I missed it. I live not far from the lake and heard
about the planes landing there. We are still cleaning ash off our house!

It does make wonder if the Spruce Goose could be used in a similar manner...

To use a wooden plane for fire fighting ?


Sounds like bad juju.

"Sounds"only. In fact, it is at no more of a threat than most.

Eschew fuel leakage.

Except that it apparently wasn't able to fly out of ground effect. So, it
might not be able to take off, but could taxi to a fire, if it was on water.
