Fire fighting Privateer P4Y-2 walk-around at Centennial of Naval Aviation

by Rob Anderson on February 28, 2024 · in Uncategorized · 5 ≡

One of the highlights for me was this Privateer. As a boy growing up in the Pacific Northwest during fire season I would sit on my roof and watch B-17s, B-24s and Privateers drop borate on the hills above our city. I believe this bird [...]

PB4Y-2 Privateer "Redwing" (Matchbox, 1980)

by Marcello Rosa on June 30, 2022 · in Aviation · 17 ≡
