Warbird Information Exchange

Excellent pictures

A warbird in Europe offering rides ? How can that be !

In addition, this PBY Catalina is a warbird gem of an airplane. It was credited with three confirmed U-Boat kills in WW2. I think that was a record number for any aircraft type and this is the very PBY.

Their website might be worth book marking if you ever be in the area .....

Bomberflight,
Actually PH-PBY, c/n2459 has Four confirmed U-boat kills, the most for a PBY. I believe the all-time leader was a Coastal Command Liberator with nine.

I've had a love affair with the PBY since I was a little boy. More than any other warbird, it always struck the romantic streak in my soul--I always imagined it flying off to strange and exotic places, from warm beaches to the frozen North....MMMM! Gonna fly in one one day!

Looks like you had a blast! Thanks for posting.

Awesome photos! When was the last time you saw a PBY really in it's elements (both on the water and in the air)?

Pssst....Boots? Think that loverly lady's name is Esther ('least the patch on her flight suit sez so!)
