Parked up atop the ramp at her home in Sprout Lake since the 2016 Oshkosh Airshow, the Mars will soon fly once more. This will be an historic event. One of the last times, a 1940’s era, 4 engine flying boat, one with a wingspan greater than a 747-300, will ever fly again. And I had to get there to check it out myself.Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/thatmallardguy/Check out my YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk6O4NEHd-Q5StSNLLfbjuw?view\_as=subscriberSeaplane Pilots Association:On the Step is proudly sponsored by the Seaplane Pilots Association.

Last year in the month of April, I embarked on what would end up being one of the most exciting weeks of my aviation career, training 7 highly experienced pilots how to fly the floating hull aircraft on a 75-year-old Republic Seebee. I had always dreamt of flying the seebee, but never before had I even seen one until I was in formation with the one I was about to instruct on, sitting in a Gazelle helicopter with the great man and my guest today, Jim Whalley at the controls. 

Every seaplane pilot has dreamt of doing this at one stage, packing their suitcase, requesting an upgrade to business but getting shafted in economy for 14 hours, ok maybe not that part, but all seaplane pilots look at flying in Alaska as one of the pinnacles in the industry, and Aussie pilot Ollie O’Halloran is doing just that. Support On the Step via Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/thatmallardguyFollow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/thatmallardguy/Check out my YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk6O4NEHd-Q5StSNLLfbjuw?view\_as=subscriberSeaplane Pilots Association:On the Step is proudly sponsored by the Seaplane Pilots Association.
