We have a winner... somebody buy that man a case of beer and a large pizza of his choosing.




P.S. Paul, how cool would it be if you added a copy of this photo to the top of the group of photos you have in the OP?

Maybe with "Random Transportation" filled in with yellowish gold.

A Cessna 150 is quite affordable, forgiving to fly (and land), and has an economical fuel burn. They also enjoy a fairly brisk resale turnover when you grow tired of it.

Definately not carbon fiber. Painted aluminum.

It is a 1945 Consolidated PBY-6A Catalina.
Interesting observation: Notice the wheels are down. It is taxiing ashore.

It's a Black Cat.

Pacific theatre.

Used to hit shipping convoys and look for subs.
