For Lucky13 (and other Catalina lovers)

"Volkel in de wolken" is a little airshow near the NATO airbase of Volkel. It's mainly focussed on entertaining people with aerobatics and nifty little airplanes. But this beauty also sailed by. Enjoy:

Nice shots Marcel. It looks like the starboard wing sponson was being a little uncooperative.

Well, I think they did that on purpose. Sometimes the other was out as well and sometimes they were both in.

As for the pics. It was a great day, sun and all, but unfortunately the sun was in the wrong spot for pictures. The quality is not what I'm used to. Still nice, however.

Very nice, Marcel. I remember that aircraft when it wore its camouflage scheme with the orange triangles, very distinctive.

Yes, I made pictures of the bird back than in the old analogue age. I should scan them and post them....
