It's even flying lower that
this one - it's really hugging the ground
Kidding aside, I'm attaching a scan of a newspaper clipping of 28 July 2004 which shows Royal Netherlands Navy Air Service Catalina PBY-5A P-212 on its way to getting a professional paint job at Amsterdam Airport. Read about her
history and see more pictures of this move
here.
It normally resides at the
Military Aviation Museum and I remember seeing it first as a kid when it was still on display at a playground. I was truly amazed by this flying boat and I still am today. Although it is good to see she is being taken care of, with her gutted interior she will never fly again.
Luckily, the
Neptune Association is working hard on getting the only other Catalina in the Netherlands airworthy again.
