Catalina PBY-5A splash-and-go flight (onboard) Long Version

https://asimplyfab.life/ For 7 seven years, we've been watching the magnificent Catalina fly over our home, and each time promising ourselves to book a flight. Well, that time came. We booked two tickets. WOW. A flying boat has to be the pinnacle of adventure. And this one comes with such history and has been so lovingly restored. MODEL: High-quality 1/144 diecast scale model of the Catalina: https://airmodels.net/consolidated/24... We forget that this aeroplane is over seventy years old and has had a distinguished career during world war two. Doing what it was designed for - reconnaissance and anti-submarine duties. After the war, it served as a firefighter and then even as a cargo plane. This one has been lovingly restored and kept in flying condition by a not-for-profit organisation in the Netherlands and is based at the Aviodrome in Lelystad, Netherlands. It was a pleasure to finally be able to get an onboard flight on this amazing piece of history. As old-school as they come (just like an old Land Rover)...

Sadly Catalina PYY-5A "Karel Doorman" is no longer flying in the Netherlands (ask the government) but is in process of restoration in Florida.
