What can I say I still love the classics!!

Descending into Wake passed over the fleet.

Tied up at Wake.

Bit of history the "Pacific Clipper" was arriving Auckland when the Japanese attacked Pearl. Their route home cut, they ended up heading west circling the globe to get home, setting several records in the process.

That B314 is a great bird. I took her up in Greenland few months back for the WWII Era screenie contest. Flies nice too. Where did you get that paint? Looks great on her.
