@theneko a few years ago, you sent me an old magazine clipping of someone who was cruising from a seaplane, do you still have that around somewhere?

@neauoire I think I had a pdf of the Life Magazine issue with the article on, but I can't quite find it. Here's an extensive article on it with all the pics though: vintagewings.ca/stories/sweet-

And a video on the article: youtube.com/watch?v=9TaBTjHVx6

I'll send over the pdf if I can find it!

@theneko thanks! Yes, if you do find the pdf I would love to have it! I've been looking for it all morning, I had it on my old computer but I've lost it somewhere in the migration.

@neauoire @theneko were they cruising in a Catalina PBY Landseaire flying RV?

@neauoire @theneko I regret to inform you that it did not end well. The airframe is still visible on the beach in Saudia Arabia. books.google.fr/books?id=7U4EA

(I'm familiar with the story, I was looking for the issue)
