56 years ago, when I was a 10 years old boy, I flew for the first time in my life, it was in a Sunderland that belonged to "Aerolineas Argentinas" (it was a Short Sandringham actually). The pilots even let me sit at the controls for a few minutes. This marked me for all mi life. Today being an old pilot, I remember with affection that formidable airplane, how not to do this? Thanks Kermie for share!
This sunderland its powered by 4 P&W R-1830 twin wasps the same that powered the consolidated b-24 liberators, Consolidated pb2y coronado, consolidated pby catalina. as the props turn counterclockwise as the Bristol engines the props turned in a clockwise direction. the biggest flying boats two known to exist are in BC the Martin Mars were modified as water bomber tankers now being phased out infavor of other aircraft suited for the job they did.
