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!
