"One of the most recognized aircraft in the world, the Consolidated PBY Catalina not only served in the U.S. Navy, but also with the air arms of Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Netherlands and the Soviet Union. The PBY was involved in almost every major operation in World War II, and figured significantly in defeating the U-boat menace in the Atlantic."

 

Would be the first 'flying boat' to DCS

 

Yesterday, it just hit me and I tried to land the new Tank Killer on Lake Genezareth :pilotfly: ... of course I crashed & bured - no sorry, drowned :music_whistling:

 

It would open up a lot of cool things you can do with the Catalina in DCS World - especially in the Marianas!

 

Hope for the Best - Harry
