Pima Air Museum PBY (# 0671)

Pima Air Museum PBY (# 0671)
The Consolidated PBY Catalina, flown by the U.S. Navy starting in 1935 and the most produced flying boat in the world, used by civilians wherever flying boats are needed and even now being used in firefighting. The Wikipedia page has some interesting pictures of them in use.

When I was a child in Florida in the 1950’s, we lived under the landing path for Naval Station Jacksonville and I remember these flying low overhead very frequently.
