I had the privilege this last week-end to see a PBY Catalina up close and personal as it flew to Barcelona for the Festa al Cel exhibition It was a lifelong dream finally come true.
This is the PBY-5A G-PBYA. It was built in 1943 and is currently operated by the Catalina Society and based in Duxford, England.
I had a chat with the pilot and I asked him how it feels like to fly her, and according to him, "it flies like a Super Cub" hahaha
