Need PBY Ident...

Mon Dec 11, 2006 10:57 am

I found these pictures of a PBY in my inherited stuff.

I see no numbers in the photos.

Anyone happen to know which airplane this is?

Thanks

No ideas?

I have looked for more pictures in my stuff...none to be found.

I found one in the Registry that has similar paint stripe around the rear fuselage...but it was based in Canada in 1980...



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Z

Look what I found in my slide collection: PBY-6A, N7057C, 64072, taken at CCNAS, TX on 6-15-1980

Wow, that's the first time I have ever seen that paint scheme on the former NWM / now American Airpower Museum P-Boat... does anyone know how long this scheme lasted?

Thanks!
