I was at Oshkosh a few years back, and there was a PBY with wild markings and turtles painted on it, so that the blisters looked like shells from the turtles. Does anyone know which one that was? It was a really wild scheme.

I was just there a few weeks ago, and yes it still flies. I don't think he's flown it in several months, but the Flying Turtle is one of his fleet that is still fairly regularly operated.

N222FT 'the Flyin' Turtle' is ex C-FOWE that was one of the two p-boats that flew the Pond to commemorate the 75th anniv. of Naval Av. back in '86. C-FOWE is the one the crash landed at Plymouth. Connie Edwards flew the other, a PBY-6A, N4NC. That registration was supposedly the closest the Fed would let him get to NC4 that first flew the Pond back in the day.
