I've always held a fantasy of using a PBY as a live-aboard vessel. I bet with some time and ingenuity, the interior could be made into a pretty nice and comfortable living space.

Yeah Cash...I try to come home every day at noon for lunch and "The Rockford Files".

I never knew Dionne was a guest star on one of the episodes.....and along with Isaac Hayes......too good to pass up on Random Pics!

One thing I like about this show is you really get to see a lot of cool cars from the 70's and 80's that are no longer on the road.

"On January 16, 1996, Jimmy Buffett’s Grumman HU-16 Albatross, dubbed the Hemisphere Dancer, was shot at by Jamaican authorities as he taxied in the waters near Negril.
The Jamaicans had mistaken it for a drug-runner’s plane, though Jimmy had “only come for chicken.” On board the plane was Chris Blackwell from Island Records and U2’s Bono and his family.

Bono describes the incident in a Belfast Telegraph article:

“These boys were shooting all over the place. I felt as if we were in the middle of a James Bond movie — only this was real. It was absolutely terrifying and I honestly thought we were all going to die.

“Thank God we were safe and sound. My only concern was for their safety. It was very scary, let me tell you. You can’t believe the relief I felt when I saw the kids were okay.”

When they heard the shots, Bono, his wife Ali, and their children dove for cover fearing they were about to be killed. He was so shocked that he and his family left Jamaica and flew straight to Miami, Florida.

The Hemisphere Dancer escaped relatively unscathed except for a few bullet holes.

Buffett penned a tune about the incident: “Jamaica Mistaica”, which appeared on the 1996 album Banana Wind."

From the Transportation thread:

What are they trying to show in this drawing - an attack float plane?
And Japanese jets? WWII?

[BE911SC]

What-if depiction of manned Japanese "baka" flying bombs attacking a U.S. Navy flying boat. The Consolodated Coronado was one such machine used by the U.S. Navy in the Pacific to attack shipping or enemy airplanes such as "Betty" bombers and shoot them down and they could drop bombs as well. Drawing shows a Coronado-like airplane with Martin Mars style wing floats. The Coronado's floats retracted.
