Does anyone know where there are operational Catalinas?
>>28452385
I know at least one flies in the San Diego area. I've seen it a few times while visiting a friend who lives there.

I think the national air and space museum in VA has one in their restoration area, one of the guides said its one of the remaining planes that was AT pearl harbor.
though im not sure if it was a catalina or a bigger model

You guys need a mechanic?
>>28452626
I think Black Lagoon (and Uncharted to a lesser extent) put the desire to smuggle stuff in a neato seaplane into me.
If I ever hit it rich, I'm buying a PBY. When they come up for sale, they usually go for ~$325k-$400k.

Bring some paint and I'll let you two ride in the gunpods, if you're good.

If we take on Bears we have to let foxen, orangutans and other species in. Sorry Humans and fox girls only.

pre-op or post-op?
Blue Lagon did it for me...I'll smuggle 14 year old Brooke Shields lookalikes around the Phillipines..
I did get to see a PBY land and taxi around Clear Lake in Northern California. Pretty cool, and bigger than you might think. It had the front turret faired over and the taller tail, and was blue over white.

.... Now that's a question I could go either way on.

Room for one more on the /k/argo plane?
>>28452744
Everyone's invited, well have a fleet of cars
>cars
Fucking auto correct
Cargo planes
>>28452816
A G-21 Goose would be pretty fucking neato too.
>>28452744
/k/ then stills the Spruce Goose to use as a base, also somehow makes it fly like it was supposed to.
>>28452824
Oh man I've flown in a goose also. If Caty couldn't be had id go with that. Both are just beautiful.
