Best Moments of 2024! | 20 Minutes of Aviation Highlights

Well, it's been quite the year for me. There were so many unexpected events that happened, such as the week-long trip around BC with Give Hope Wings in June, SAREX 2024 at Como,x in September and of course, the biggest event of the year for me; the final flights of the Hawaii Mars and Philippine Mars water bombers.

Being able to witness both of the two remaining Martin Mars aircraft fly was not something I ever thought would have happened this year. It was truly the highlight of the year being able to capture the pair of flying boats in action.

If I had to pick my favourite moment of the year, it would undoubtably be the day of the final flight of the Hawaii Mars in formation with the Snowbirds. I genuinely don't know if I'll ever witness something as special as that ever again, which makes 2024 a very special year!

Huge thanks to everyone who helped contribute to allowing me to capture the videos I did this year. Wishing everyone a happy 2025!
