Senior Airman
In the 60s, a convention held in McCall, Idaho on Payette Lake, hosted a USN Admiral as one of its speakers. The Admiral came to town in a large USN flying boat (not sure which). Payette Lake is a large beautiful mountain lake surrounded by pine/fir/cedar forest. To ensure the safety of the Admiral (and the airplane) numerous convention volunteers scoured the schedule landing area on the lake by boats to keep it clear of stray logs that might be a landing and takeoff hazard.
Anything like that in other flying boat operations?

This is a photo of the prototype just after an engine fire on No. 3 which burned off and fell into the water. It was a taxi test fortunately.

The Martin shown is the XPB2M-1, which was soon to be modified to the JRM.
The XPB2M had twin tails and bomb bays, but the Navy decided it didn't need another long range patrol bomber, so Martin reconfigured it to a transport by removing the bomb bays - the single tail was to address stability issues as the now designated JRM got heavier.

Note the X bird had spinners.

The early XPB2M did, yes. They were omitted during rework, so by the time it was the XPB2M-1, they were gone.
The XPB2M through the early JRMs had the troublesome R-3350 engines, so there were several engine fires (like as seen in the photo).
