1944 Consolidated Pby-5a Catalina
Splash rides
PROVIDED BY HIstoric Air tours
We are pleased to welcome a PBY Catalina at the 2022 Madison Municipal Airshow! Take a ride on a fully restored Consolidated PBY Catalina Flying Yacht! This historic flying boat type was credited with some of the most critical actions of World War II that changed history including finding the Bismarck, sinking U-Boats, discovering the Japanese attacking fleet approaching Midway, and saving countless lives of downed airmen and adrift seamen. In it’s civilian life it has been fully restored to its original glory and fitted with a luxurious interior to turn it into the most capable and comfortable global exploration vessel. Flown by some of the most highly qualified pilots, you will feel right at home as they guide you aloft on one of the greatest adventures of your life.
