Tue I visited the Coronado under restoration at NNAM.
They are going pretty hard at it so it's ready when the
new addition opens next year. LOTS of work complete
on the inside. I remember what it looked like when it was
on the ramp out back - all the difference in the world!

I know they wont, but I hope they have walkthrough tours of the aircraft. I mean, there's really not too many other places you can go find a Coronado. Same goes for the PBM.

Warbird Kid. There are no other places where you can see a Coronado. Thats the last one. I got this tidbit from an old retired USN pilot who flew Coronados among many other types.
