 PBY Catalina, taken at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City Florida. I highly recommend you check it out if you're interested in WWI or WWII aircraft - the owner restores all of his aircraft to flying condition and does a 'flight of the day' each day with one of them. When I was there it was a Piper trainer (which was photogenic, but didn't have the same impact as if he were to fly, say, his P51D Mustang...). You can also go up in a 4-seater open cockpit modified Stearman biplane. I did this and during my flight, we were 'buzzed' by a bright yellow AT-6 Texan from another airfield (flew right under us). Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me (figured it would be frowned upon as something that could fall out of the plane).

You can see info on the museum here: I'm not sure if the PBY belongs to FOF or if it is on loan.

I like the use of grain in this.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.

Good idea to give it grain and present it in B&W to give it a nostalgic feel. It seems tilted a bit and that is distracting.
