Catalina, the flying boat

Catalina, the flying boat

More than the display of Vulcans and F16s at the Luechars airshow, what interested me more was the slowest of all the planes, Catalina. Used widely during World War 2, the Consolidated PBY Catalina is a flying boat – capable of landing and taking off both on land and water. Here are a couple of photos of Catalina that I captured during the airshow.

And it took me a while to realize of all the flights, why the slowest one got me interested – it reminded me of the animated series Talespin 🙂
