Consolidated Vultee PBY-5A Catalina N9505C (S/N 34027) has hit the market.
The aircraft, which was reportedly used in the movie Always, was modified to a Super Cat configuration with Wright R-2600 engines. The airframe is said to have amassed a total time of 4,667 hrs since new, while the engines have 464 and 890 hrs SMOH. The Hamilton Standard 23E50 props are described as having 699 and 822 hrs SMOH.
The machine lacks avionics and is reportedly in need of restoration, although it “could be made ferriable.” The aircraft is currently located in Ephrata, WA and is being offered for $275,000. Click here to check out the complete listing.
