We’re on our way to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh with Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina BuNo 2459 and the crew is spending the hours documenting what it was like to fly long patrols on the slow PBY. Here is a glimpse of some of the interior “comforts”, defensive positions, and views. Of course, in the 1942 North Atlantic, shorts and T-shirts would have been swapped for shearling coats and flight suits. Enjoy the clips! #wwii #pbycatalina #eaaairventure #warbirds #navalaviation
The PBY-5A Catalina BuNo 2459 is on its way to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI from Florida! The crew is passing through Georgia now and will be working into the Midwest for an overnight along the way. On the way out of Florida, the PBY flew over P-8 Poseidon's at Cecil Field - the same mission, 84 years apart! Before departure, we got a photo of the team at American Aero Services who worked on the PBY - there were many others that helped over the seven year span, but their dedication and excellence in craftsmanship truly made #2459 singular in regards to originality - thank you for everything, American Aero Services!

Learn About Armor Scale Modeling: Minuteman AMPS Chapter Monthly Meeting & Build Day
April 18 @ 10:00 am, ending 3:00 pm
Free with standard museum admission
Join the Minuteman Chapter of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society (AMPS) for a Monthly Meeting and Scale Model Build Day at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA on the third Saturday of every month, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Watch skilled modelers as they work on their latest projects, learn more about the scale modeling hobby, and pick up tips on tools, painting, weathering, and detailing. You are also welcome to bring your own project and get hands-on help and advanced techniques from experienced club members.
The build day takes place right on the museum display floor, surrounded by world-class tanks, military vehicles, and aircraft, where history and craftsmanship come together.
The purpose of AMPS is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of the history of armored vehicles, through examination of preserved examples located in both museums and private collections, in miniature through modeling. The Minuteman Chapter of AMPS represents modelers in Central Massachusetts.
