PB4Y-2 Privateer

from navylib.com

looks like there may be a dead spot at the low 6:00.

a lot of these planes used to be slurry bombers


which suprised me, becasue the existing flyable B-24s were all warbirds valued in the mid-high 7 figure range

You know I always thought that the the PB4Y-2 would be a waste with the B-24 here already ...

But I too would like to see this old girl added at some stage, I like the idea of having those dual side gunners

Diablo,

Are they going to leave the 2600s on the Privateer or go back to the original P&W1830s?  Last I heard they were staying with the 2600s.

I would have liked to gotten a chance to fly a PB4Y-2 to compare it with how the B-24 flew.  Privateer is an awesome looking airplane.

True, but a worthwhile add nonetheless.  :aok

I know a couple of A&P's down there.  Next time I see them I'll ask.

Yes  :aok it needs to be added to the must have list, but there are planes & vehicles from other countries that are needed more desperately.  (Japan, Italy, Germany) :D
