Consolidated PBY CATALINA 9767 Flight Training 

Absolutely stellar! A legendary plane. Thank you for a well-filmed, well-edited video.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A beautiful plane. Thank you for keeping it flying. Thank you for sharing this with us.

No disrespected intended at all but, the "music" of those Pratt R-1830's is sufficient. Nothing else needed.

I Love the freeking music. Great choice. Puts us aviators in a good jazzy mood to watch a true classic airplane. THANK YOU!

Mr. Yves Cartilier, Consolidated PBY Catalina 9767,this sensational and unforgettable Aircraft,widely used in wars and also in peace flying today and providing excellent service today in many countries. Here in Brazil, in The Amazon was very uself for many years,taking all kinds of help for those isolated populations, mainly the indigenous population. Today unfortunately calls "paw shocks " were retired and many are preserved in museums Aeronautical. Stayed to miss this amazing aircraft Mr, Yves, I´m sorry i can not speak english,but understand something. .... Greetings from Brazil.

Nice plane! Amazing ship! ❤❤

Really nicely shot and edited record of a beautiful aircraft! Thank you for helping preserve a piece of history!

What a beautiful designed aircraft. Thanks for preserving this plane posting.

Why the music. Wanna hear the engines

The most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time !

These fantastic aircraft served as long range patrol with the Fleet Air Arm during the war,and performed sterling service. Two pilots,a flight engineer's position above and behind,and two gunners manning the side blisters. A very respected and feared aircraft at the time.

My father was a pilot officer in the RCAF during WWII and trained on PBY's, amongst other airplanes. He said more than once that it was one of the easiest planes to fly and also one of the smoothest handling, FWIW-John in Texas

¡Come onnnnnn!, good music, good video, beautiful plane.

Beautiful aircraft, the PBY.

Engine sound beats music any day.

Well that was a joy to watch! Glad I stumbled upon this video..

Wish you would can the music so we could hear the engine sounds.

Beautiful filming but as the title was , I would have preferred music very low and to hear the voice of the crew.

I would have preferred to hear the talk between the pilots and aircraft sounds more and the music a lot less.

More fun than people should be allowed to have!! Wherever this plane's located certainly is some beautiful countryside.

Great video, but please re-edit it with the natural sound, or just dead silence if some of the natural sound is messed up.

such a beautiful aircraft.

The real pilots not a computerized, raw flying love it well done Guys

Merci infiniment pour ce partage, j'ai adoré !

Thank you for great and beautiful Video. I was so impressed that I made play list " PBY Catalina" 4 levers in the cockpit - Red two long levers and Yellow short two levers. Red and Yellow were not the same position at the starting engine. Yellow were front and Red were back. when you were taking off, you moved only Red long two levers from back to forward carefully and slowly. after taking off, Yellow short two ones little back. then All four levers almost the same position. Why you used only two Red levers for take off ? What the difference of Red and Yellow levers ?

didnt need any music . the engines are the music.

My favourite plane Thanks for the video

Thanks for a great video experience of the PBY Catalina. Nice job. Well done photography. Of course we love the sound of the engines, but I kinda liked the beat of the music to the rhythm of the journey. Beautiful countryside - Beautiful airplane.

I remember many years ago in the early 60s seeing one of these beauties fly by just off the waters edge while on vacation in Destin with my family. Later that morning two of the old straight wing type jet fighters with the wing tanks out on the end of each wing make the same pass by. Shooting Star I think is what they were called. Dad and I also saw the classic swept wing answer to the early Mig 15s, 2 of our F-86 Saber jets in a pair come by on the deck so to speak. Pensacola Air Base was just a hop and skip away for them so we guessed that is where they had come from. Great memories. Growing up here in the Mississippi Delta I also remember the old Stearman Bi-planes being used to spray crops with upgraded engines to the Super Wasp radial engines. Loud as could be but so much fun to watch as a child. Here in my hometown of Clarksdale they had a training base for Pilots during WW-2 which is still there and some of the original hangers and used by people with personal planes. Fletcher Field was and is the name of the old base and present day airport. Morgan Freemon flies in and out of there often as his home is nearby in the town or near the town of Charleston MS. The Catalina must have saved many lives back in their war days and it will stick with me always seeing these great pieces of history back when they were still being used. Would or could have been as early as 63 as we started going down there yearly about the time I turned six years old. It always seemed to be very early in the mornings when they would do these on the deck fly by passes. I guess they enjoyed waking everyone up, but after the first time I knew to get up and get out there and wait because something was going to come by. I can't recall having seen a Panther but I'd bet I did as it happened every morning one type or several types. Thanks Dad. Dad was part of the Mighty Eight flying out of Burtonwood England I think was the name of the base. He said he never saw a 262 and was not the least bit upset about that loss of a chance. It is a shame back then nobody seemed to care about destroying them by the droves. I feel the same way about buildings too that were torn down for some odd looking strip mall type shit to take its place. Sad. Other parts of the world are not so eager to do this sort of stuff it appeared to me years ago as a young man outside of the CONUS. We should have done better in preserving our history. There is a great deal to be said for progress, but equally as much about saving the past. A beautiful aircraft there and thanks for the sharing. Brings a tear or two thinking about Dad sitting there with me trying to keep the sand out of his coffee as we sat, waited, and watched. Saw a B-25 Mitchell fly over town a few years ago as it came down to the airshow at Fletcher Field and was giving pay for rides to folks with the cash to spend. Another beautiful bird to see in the sky overhead. We should have done a better job is all I can say about that topic.

Thank you so much for making this! My personal favorite of WW2 warbirds!

What a beauty. Great lines.

Счастливый Вы народ американцы! Почитаете историю,самолет сохранили. Спасибо Вам огромное за ленд-лиз!

Gorgeous Bird the PBY. Seems in good shape, I’ll take her!

Everybody loves the ole PBY and my Dad worked on them in WWII, preparing them to be flown out of Eastern N.C. (Elizabeth City) to Archangel with Russian pilots. Said they had a hell of a hard time keeping the Ruskies from overloading the AC with fresh fruit and veggies and once had a pitch-pole sinking in the Pasquataque River with overload and extremely forward C.G.!

I like planes restored to be as they were in service, but the PBY does look really nice with no turret on the nose. (Especially they way everything comes together in the frontal view.) And yes to what others have said. Give us a version with no music please!

One of my fav planes from WW2!

A mediado de los '70 volé en varias oportunidades en un Catalina perteneciente a la Orinoco Mining Co. desde Puerto Ordaz con destino a Punta Barima, en la desembocadura del río Orinoco. El trayecto se hacía en 2 horas. Para aquella época la aeronave contaba con más de 30 años de servicio. In the middle of the '70 I flew several times in a Catalina belonging to the Orinoco Mining Co. from Puerto Ordaz to Punta Barima, at the mouth of the Orinoco River. The journey was made in 2 hours. For that time the aircraft had more than 30 years of service.

Flew on this bird in august never forget that flight

Love the plane, video, and the music!

WW2 - My Dad flew in the PBY, he was a Radioman & Gunner. He flew in the “Blister” doing Costal Patrols for ships and submarines. He was first in a Dauntless Dive Bomber, but during a training exercise while making a practice bomb run, the plane lost power and they had to make an emergency landing. When the plane came onto the emergency field upon landing on the runway, it split into two sections. Both he and the pilot were injured. While recovering in the hospital, some Officers came around to see him and asked if he’d fly again. He said: if you can put me in something that has more than one engine. That’s how he supposedly ended up in PBYs.

Really nice.. plane, video, everything..

Прекрасная машина! Счастливые люди!👍👍👍

Beautifull bird!

Missing the sea landing..! Anyway i enjoy it too much..congrats..

That music! That damn music.....you know....when the engines were humming away....wonderful sound that doesnt bother me. lol...Must be a wonderful experience to fly. Are you going to do water landings at some point? Or will it require special ground school cert first for that type of aircraft. Just curious what the rules and limitations are. Thanks for sharing.

You don’t need music, The music of those engines are music to those who flew these machines!

This is an amazing video. I love the Catalina so much. A legendary plane. Great video, superb music too.

I want one for a flying RV. There is one out there somewhere. Saw it in Tampa harbor in 1971. Dropped in and went ashore in a dingy for groceries. Blue and white Flowers in the bubble windows yet. Fantastic.

Cool video... but that muzak tho... :/ And what happened to the wing floats?

what a beautiful thing

Nice video. Ignore the trolls that complain about the music. Let them make their own video. What a plane you can see why they were used for scouting and finding down pilots, Waiting for your next video. You can mute the complainers just like they can mute the music. Have not seen 1 video where someone did not complain about what ever music is applied. Incredible

This guy was try9ing his best to dip the wing to the right when he was trying to land. What's the problem there, jack? Is your aileron trim way out of adjustment?

COOL MUSIC! WHAT SONG?

My uncle flew the Cat during WW ll in the Pacific!

Do they make modern day versions of this?

Beautiful video and flight! I love this aircraft! Best regards from Brazil!

Excellent !

Good video! What is such a plane good for? How is the specific design of he wings (placement above the body and position of the engines) better than other wing/plane designs?

It would be great if we could hear the pilots instead of the music

The music is a pain !! Let's hear the P&W's !!

Great video but I would much rather hear the airplane than the music, if that is a Canso they built a lot of those in my town of Vancouver B.C.

Very cool, thanks for posting!

A PBY Catalina picked up 56 survivors of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. How did they fir 56 men onboard? They tied many of them on top of the wings with parachute cord so they would not fall off. True fact!

Hi John, There is one based out of Aurora Oregon (south of Portland) that is 4 engines as experimental with turbo-props added as twin outboard mills. I believe it was moved inside for it's final restoration as I haven't seen it in a while.

Great but why the music???

MY FAVORITE PLANE!

Supernice Video !! The Catalina is such a beauty in many ways. Thanks 4 sharing. :)

Such a great airplane. Too bad they're rare and tough to maintain, and it takes about 15k USD to fill the huge fuel tanks for max-range (which is really far, given the mission they were designed for).

Beautiful video great music !..only time i get to fly a Catalina is in War Thunder! Bravo!

Doesn't Jimmy Buffet have one of these or did he roll it over? I know he crashed one type but not sure which one many years ago. Beautiful planes and life savers of many I bet.

another great video filled with crappy music when you want to hear what is going on

Very cool! If I ever win the Lotto, I'd like to get one.

Bientôt en entrainement pour la lutte anti-sous-marine? Bonne saison !

Great video!

Прекрасная машина..бессмертная!👍

Fantastic video!!

LOVERLY AIRPLANE!!!

Hello what is the vye on this Catalina. Thanks in advance

Prerequisites for posting to RU-vid. Know how to make the sound async with the action. Have really bad taste in music and not know what volume to play it.

Looked a bit worried at 08:52. Have a bit of cross wind son?

Wouldn't the Catalina be an awesome aircraft to put back into production, maybe with 4 engines, it definitely has enough wing to install 4 engines.

loove that plane..did it used to have an access hatch in the nose? Any idea how many are still flying? I would luvvvvv to train in this plane !!

What a great airplane

Wahouu belle video j'adore ^^ mais dites moi a 5:55 c'est pas le terrain de la ferté Allais ??

When you were landing you pushed the two yellow knobs forward. What are those knobs ?

Top video thankyou guys :-)

Mon rêve de piloter un PBY Catalina un jour ! J'dois me contenter de Cessna 172 pour le moment par contre :P

Whats the name of the song at 3:11??

Dear admin beautiful vedio tc always

Why is everyone hating on music?

Nice Video !!!

How do you 'walk those props'? Not exactly reachable from the ground...

Shame it is an amphibian not a PBY5 pure boat but still. This gives me a very rough idea of the Mk 1b Catalinas that my Dad was an aircrew member on 1944-45. Quite a cramped for crew, extra fuel tanks, agents and cargo for up to 30 hour operations in the far east. Fly Lt Dennis Holstead Turnbull dfc was the skipper.

Cool tunez.. ~ smiles ~

4 engines? would be better if it had just the 2 but make them turbine instead.

Nice video, by the way they make bifocal sunglasses,LOL might make life a little easyier.

That was great

Anyone have any idea of ​​PBY 6 Catalina that was in the air base of Madrid (Cundinamarca) in Colombia ... if it was restored or was finally dismantled?

Have they tried putting turboprops on this aircraft?

Best bird boat ever.
