Anyone Want to Come ???

The following arrived in my today's e-mail. It's a popular Southern Maine airport; and is where the Lake Amphibian a/c used to be built.

Of course, I'll probably get killed -- after passing along the promo -- if half the country were to appear for the party.

Hi Everyone,

Just want to invite you to Southern Maine Aviation, Sanford Airport, for our winter gathering. If you have children or anyone who would like to come and see the PBY in our hangar, stop on by. It has a wing span of 105 feet and is 65 feet long. It was used from 1944 in the military and it is a float plane.
This is in the Big Blue Hangar on the west side of the air field.(Presidential Lane) Not at Sanford Air, next to the restaurant.

Too far, too busy, but man would I like to go. For some reason I've always loved 2 strange planes -- the PBY and the Short Sunderland. I've walked through 2 Sunderlands (at RAF Hendon and down in Fla) but never been even close to a PBY. I think that would be one cool family hauler!!!

My cousin used to fly PBY's. Lucky guy.
