Indeed it does!

I thought this thing had already been spoken for; looks like the deal must have fallen through...

[A2C]

If you had 194k, would you be able to fly it and store it? A whole new set of problems..

No, it's a current ad.

WAS... repeat WAS... it the one that lived in Watsonville not ..IS.. it the one that lives there. (especially since to the best of my knowledge there isn't one there now nor has there been one in many years) This is a question for the older jeddi masters on this board, not for the young apprentice...

I'll wait until it goes to auction...

I wonder when the pics are from? This is how it looked back in May.

I would love to see this one go to someone that will do rides with it.

[Warbird Kid]

Collings? I'm sure they'd do it right.

[mustangdriver]

Yeah, the CF would do it right. I wonder how much a ride in a PBY would go for? Same as the B-17 and B-24?

[Warbird Kid]

I would say maybe $100 to $150 less than what you pay for the B-17 and B-24. Its a famous aircraft in its own right, but the 4 engined bombers are gonna command a higher price.
