July 4, 20223 yr Great shots........poor Cat is looking for some water in the outback....good thing it has wheels.
July 10, 20223 yr Beautiful pictures of the (OZ) Catalina.... (Remarkable history too behind this VH-AGB...thanks for sharing...!) ... Was reading a bit from the account of the Pilot who was flying the VH-AGB around Australia survey missions... ".... the Cat would sit in ground effect and fly level happily but without gaining an inch at the weight at which we operated (from memory 28000lbs). From other tests I believe climb was not feasible above about 25500 lbs. So, we tried not to think about engine failure on take-off, and concentrated on the fact that once comfortably airborne with the landing gear up we could rely on the aircraft to get us back safely..."...Oh well...
