Down there, Bismarck! – Brits were lucky to have a few of these from L and L, and boy did they do their job.

Great video of the ex-NWM Catalina. I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend as volunteer flight on this plane back in the 90’s. Got to fly from Geneseo, NY to Port Clinton, Ohio for an airshow. Spent part of the trip riding in the engineers’ station in the wing pylon, and we flew over Lake Erie for much of the trip, so really got a feel for what it must have been like back then.

call of duty

The Catalina must be a tremendously fun and safe airplane to fly. Operates off of water and land and has all those amazing canopies popping out that must be thrilling to sit in and look from.

I believe this Cat was once owned by the National Warplane Museum in Elmira, NY but they had to sell. I’ve been inside it many times but never up in it. I inquired about renting it for my wedding in Ithaca. I wanted to land on Seneca Lake, and my wife and I and the wedding party would fly out and meet the guests in the main hanger of the NWP for the reception but she wasn’t seaworthy. We still had the reception in the hangar, but it would have been nice to roll up in that beautiful bird.

Indeed the PBY’s are awesome planes. They served their purposes well during the war. I like your comment flightdeckreviews, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. I watched Great Planes on the Military Channel about PBY’s. Do PBY’s have clutches in the engines? I noticed while the engines started up each had a brief hesitation before the run up.

Beautiful plane beautiful engine noise. what more from a plane could you want?

Too Cool
@ChristopherBix2 I asked an owner of an F4U Corsair why they spin the engine at first when starting. One reason is because oil pools in the cylinders as it sits over time & rotating the engine a bit forces the oil out. I still don’t quite understand how those radial engines work. I’m kinda sorta under the impression that they work somewhat like an oil injected 2-cycle boat motor. Any comments???

Catalina is a very-very nice plane have beautiful contours, masterpiece. )) Admire this bird with two Wildcats in wing! )

@mikeno1049 They’re rebuilding it up in Duluth MN. They had two in poor shape and are rebuilding them into one good flyable ship. Good luck!

@356butch Which CAF? I’d really like to see a PB-Y up close. I’m with Heart of America Wing out of New Century Airport, Gardner, KS.

Our local CAF is in the process of restoring one of these great aircraft.
Thanks for the vid.

Without these guys, Midway would have been a watershed event for the Japanese empire…

One of the cookiest looking airplanes I’ve seen in years

looks like a James Bond craft or Chinese turtle

Ha! I thought the pilot was George Costanza from Seinfeld

to anyone who sees this vid- did their dad participate in the rescue of the crew of the Indianapolis? Also, did anyone’s dad possibly participate in, or found the Bismarck? Catalina’s participated in both.

During WWII, these warbirds were a common sight on the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve only seen them in archives, and it took a ballsy crew to fly one. Reliable with a strong airframe, but slow. Although this is the first time I’ve seen one take off from a runway, rather than a lake or a river.

I noticed that, like starting instruction I’ve seen for other radials, the pilot rotates the engine and counts 9 blades passing (3 complete revolutions of the prop), I imagine to prime the cylinders, then fires it up.

I was thinking at the begining of the video…Man they are going to have to get it going a lot fast than that to get it off the ground.

B-A-utifle thanx great vid my dad flew on one during ww11
December 23rd, 2011 at 1:47 pm
I would have loved to see it taking off or landing on the water, one very cool plane.
