Well Philippine Mars is scheduled to leave in 15 minutes, but there is a ton of fog.
She has basically a 30-minute window for the fog to lift for her to be able to leave in order to make the 5-hour flight to SF in daylight.
No movement as yet.

As Philippine Mars taxied back to base at Sproat Lake yesterday around noon, you can see engine #2 is off. Apparently it had an oil leak. They did fixer and take her out for a taxi late yesterday afternoon. No official word on when she will actually leave.

Of course I'm too slow getting out on the porch to catch it going RIGHT over the house low enough to hear all the pistons banging away, but I like how there are hummingbirds arguing in the background

Philippine getting engine #4 swapped with #4 from Hawaii Mars today in Cowichan Bay.
Hopefully she'll be back up and running to fly back home to base at Sproat Lake for more engine work before another attempt is made for her permanent departure.

Philippine Mars is airborne for the first time since 2007. For the first time in her US Navy livery since 1959.
