I like the albatross, not just because it is an improvement over it's predecessor, the Catalina, but because it uses the same engines, (albeit a newer version) with an improved air frame!
I like the Albatross too, but the Albatross bears NOTHING in common with the Catalina (except they can both float). Different manufacturer, engines, and ages apart in deployment.
Saw this aircraft (N99TP) land/take-off today in Okoboji, Iowa. Wondering if this is the same airframe as N98TP (also seen on youtube), with a new paint job and “N-Number?” Beautiful aircraft!
98TP was sold to a new owner a few years ago. 99TP was then purchased by the owner who sold 98TP. Very similar paint schemes. 99TP is stationed at the Anoka airport. 98 is currently in Southampton England. Cheers!
What a beautifully fitted out interior. The owner has every right to be proud of her.

@@brettlacthanks for the intel! cheers!
@ No worries! I'm a pilot/mechanic for 98TP and I used to work for the owner of 99TP and even I get confused with the tail numbers! Ha.
Does it come with wafers?
I think they actually have a pair in the plane!😄
