During a leisure flight, I experienced a catastrophic engine failure, both engines went dead. Blame inexperience on this one! Fire went out, but had to safely "glide" to the ground. Good thing this airport was on my flight path... Enjoy!

Great Scenery, Great PBY, Great EVERYTHING.

(but learn how to feather those props! )

Well, um, you could have landed in the water, Sully

Great shots.

I've never had an engine fire in the PBY.

I bet that radome caused me to forget to feather the props  And it was probably the reason why I wanted to get back to Terra Firma instead of going for the water. Maybe I just didn't want to swim back to shore 
As far as engine fires, it seems that I really have to pay attention to my gauges otherwise I always burn them up... Patchz, do you fly with the "realistic engines" mode on?
