| Re: Catalina (or for the colonials) PBY flight What an awesome experience that must have been! I am completely jealous. On a side note, I must say that it takes some cheek to assume that we "colonials" don't know that a Catalina is a PBY. Even though you Commonwealth types came up with the name first, plenty of colonials know the PBY by the name Catalina. Some of us even know what boots, bonnets and torches are!   | |||||||||||||

| Re: Catalina (or for the colonials) PBY flight My son has been crazy about the Catalina since he was three years old now seventeen. He didn't know about the flight until an hour before we went,seeing the look on his face was priceless. | |||||||||||||

Of COURSE I know what a Catalina is! It's a cross between a cat and a lina! Any ol' Colonial fool knows that! | ||||||||||||||
