Q: PBY

It is a tricycle geared aircraft Dan...the question is...where is the nose gear! No, it isn't. It's a PBY-5, not a PBY-5A. The wheels alongside the fuselage are beaching gear, not landing gear. No mainwheels, no nose gear. Comparisons he http://www.catalina.org.nz/what%20is%20a%20PBY.htm The photo of the PBY-2 shows the beaching gear. Well, I just learned something I didn't know: that all the models including the PBY-5 were flying boats and that the first amphibian models started with the PBY-5A model. This newsgroup can be an amazing resource, when we aren't fighting over politics. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com
