THE MIGHTY MARTIN MARS IS PREPARED TO SAVE YOUR HOME!
On May 14, 15, and 16, 2008, the Hawaii Mars performed a series of drop tests for the US Forest Service. The tests consisted of a series of drops or passes at various altitudes and loads to determine: 1. The pattern and coverage levels of water, thermo-gel and foam on the ground 2. The level of structure protection the Martin Mars could provide to homes under the threat of wildfire. As this video of a 4800 gallon drop with 1% Thermo-Gel shows the tests were a success on all fronts.
