After being found dismantled in a forgotten hanger, a mighty Boeing Clipper flies again after a long restoration by dedicated volunteers:

Shortly after departure from Bangor's seaplane base.

Arrival in New York and awaiting the first visitors. The aircraft will probably not remain in this bare metal scheme for long as the job of keeping the massive bird polished would prove too labor intensive.

Oops, forgot the chase plane view!

Can anyone direct me to where I could find some good color reference photos of an actual clipper in the Pan Am scheme to use in a repaint?

Wow, now THAT is a gorgeous plane.

Do any real examples of these planes still exist? I think there was one in the Smithsonion's Air and Space Museum, but I could be mistaken. Just think if one was still around and flying, what a great Air show attraction, especially here in Chicago where we have the lakefront air and water show each year.

Where the heck did you get that big ol' bugger?

that's one big mofo!! Looks great in the sky. Is it a flying boat??

Hmm.. Clipper's Irish cousin? Looks nice

Nice looks a lot like the Dornier from the 1920's
But also like a B-24


any way nice aircraft

My what a gorgeous bird
