PBY Catalina on Patrol in Biscayne Bay

[DODwebdotorg]

Turboprop at least (jet turbines). If I ever ran into ownership of a cat and had the money I'd do a (world first?) turboprop conversion.

While I love the radials, I'd rather go with the dependability of modern technology.

Radials were good in the 30's-50's when under military maintinance regimes, but as a private 'airyacht' I cant imagine having to worry about fouled plugs, grumphy carbs or cracked cylinders every other flight.

Really have to love that radial sound, though!

how come it never lands in the water? Does it leak?

How cool would it be if the cost guard or navy still used these

It is not my bird, it is Charlies over at the Wings Over Miami Air Museum. You need to talk to them. I was just a volunteer that got a ride on it.
