Join us as we go along for flight on the only flying PB4Y Privateer in the world. The air to air photo shoot was coordinated by the Aviation Photo Crew.

Very cool! I'm a big fan of the photo crew air to air videos.

Flying a large airplane like the PB4Y in formation reqiures skill and coordination. Impressive!

The Privateer is a gorgeous bird. My nephew is currently an AMT for the USCG on HC-144 Ocean Sentry. God bless our service men and women.⚓

Dad was a nose gunner in a PB4Y, VPB-109, '44-'45. Nice to see this old bird again.

That plane appears to be a handful to fly - so much required of the pilot - so much concentration - it doesn’t look like the PIC can ever relax enough at all to actually enjoy flying that beautiful beast. But props to him for making it happen!

At 28:30 you get a good view of Roosevelt lake where there Philippines Mars will be landing in the near future🎉. How great would It be to do a photo shoot with the two of you flying together.

what is the fuel burn on this monster ? 4 R-2800s = 4 X 140 GPH = 560 GPH.

Are you going to be at the Safford air show?

Skyvan seems like a marginal choice for this, regardless of its open aft door.

So what is the copilot (?) doing with the center controls? Does it require someone to be that diligent with the throttles to stay in formation?
