Hello Peter,

Thanks for posting that. There were a few other interesting tidbits in this video than the one in last weeks show.

wish they would have played more of the sea shanty Blow the man Down though. :rock:
Well Done, I thought.

Ref: the Catalina, ... -Boy would I love a ride on that. -To Catalina itself even. :Dance:

Hi Joe,

Yes I enjoyed all the extra bits...I liked the Flight Engineer's position, up in the pylon :lol:

I remember seeing a couple of PBYs in Holland somewhere and there was another at Ardmore in NZ that I looked at rather wistfully and hoped for a ride, but sadly it was not to be!...But I did get some interesting rides there, including some solo time in a Tiger Moth and some great rides in two Harvards :)
