I'd be interested in an update on the various Catalinas/Cansos that are with American Aero'. I've asked the company itself but no response - to be fair they are probably too busy to answer this sort of question.

I believe the situation is a s follows (designations as per original operator) but if any member can confirm/update I'd be grateful ...

N287 - PBY-5A Cavanaugh Air LLC (possibly wings only as hull now at Sherman, TX although it was at New Smyrna Beach until recently)
N423RS - PBY-5A Tunison Foundation Inc
N459CF - PBY-5A Collings Foundation
N7057C - PBY-6A American Airpower Museum (wings only)
N983CF - Canso A Collings Foundation (dismantled)

David,

I'm in the southern command center now and I'll try to stop in this week and see what I can find out.

Is that Ashley Ezell in front of the P-40?

I don't think so...

In one of Kermits videos he stated he lent out his turret plexi for mold making...and in return he was going to receive a new set.

Many thanks John - I've since independently confirmed the above list but also that an additional PBY-5A N4582U is there too.

Could this be it? I took the pic yesterday.
