  • The 2024 Washington Seaplane Pilots Association Tanglefoot splash-in was a blast this year, and I tried to get footage of as many planes as I could coming and going on Friday and a little on Saturday.
    Besides all the awesome aircraft, the atmosphere and people made this an event that I definitely want to return to next year!
    Thank you to the WSPA and Tanglefoot Seaplane base!

    Dad went into flight training at NAS Pensacola in '41, flew N3Ns, etc. Ended up spending the war flying PBY-5s (no landing gear) in a Black Cat Squadron. Transitioned to PBMs. He would have loved this video. Mom and Dad loved NAS Whidby...

    This film is wonderful with the sights and sounds of all the historic and beautifully maintained float planes, terrific stuff many thanks. My dad was in the RAF in oban in the West coast of Scotland in the early part of ww2, and watched the Sunderland flying boats operating and training new pilots there, so great to see the Catalina too. I visited Vancouver island back in 2005 and saw the 2 Martin Mars fire fighting tanker planes there, huge and very impressive!!Cheers Peter UK.
