PBY is awesome. I thought it was going to take the entire lake to take off. Would be sweet to sit in those sit bubble windows.

Magnificent machine. Would love to fly one someday.

So awesome!
May I ask how the heck it can get airborne with it's top speed?!?!

Pretty BIRD and still has her RADIAL ENGINES 😅

They had a factory in downtown Vancouver B.C. making this aircraft in ww2

“Canso” makes me smile as in Spanish ‘goose’ is “Ganso” 😊

You should build it up to look like a Black Cat's PBY.

If only someone would start manufacturing them again.

Very much like the Bombardier water bomber.
