PBY-5A Takeoff / Landing Roll

If this seaplane had been made it would have been impressive. And it actually was a SEA plane

It would have been humungous, that's for sure!

You bloody engineers always complaining..."This plane is too hard to work on" - "Your stressing the airframe" - "Where's your wing gone!?" - "Why have you put the plane into power lines!?" - "Next time you land do it with the gear down" Jesus christ just fix the damn thing.

Yea, the time fixing the bloody thing takes away from Pub time! Why do you think we get so temperamental!

Wasting valuble drinking time is a tragedy. I understand how you feel, FBJ.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Yea, especially when they are capable of doing things like this

What, you don't like the flexi-fuselage design? You have to admit, it is amazing how evenly spaced the cuts are.

How did that happen again?

Best thing since sliced bread!

Actually, it looks a bit like a loaf of Wonder Bread.

I have seen that picture before and have seen it almost happen live. A propeller is a very nasty thing that really dose not care about what it might hit.

As for the Bv 144 that would have been a grand project, they created some good seaplaes for the war. Plan_D, most crews could take care of the plane them selves. if it were an anphipian it could be looked after on land or we could build a ew seaplane ramp in Miami

Because we would be useing new designs say the Ca 415 or Be-12 though that is not a new design we could work on it.

Can you even get a joke, MP-Willow!? It was a joke! No need for return comment.

 

[MP-Willow]

AS you wish! Yes I can get a joke, but I like it when you are a little worked up
