haven't seen a catalina for sale in a while. last one was 1.5 million. the interior had been kitted out like a yacht. a rich executives toy. you'd think they would cost more. but they are maintenance pigs. 10 hours of work for every hour in the air. few can afford that kind of upkeep. like boats. most guys who buy them end up begging someone to take it off their hands.

other rode hard put away wet ex firebombers show up form time to time. there was that black and red one that i used to see at oshkosh. beautiful plane.
