[ARC5] PBY Restoration

[releazer at earthlink.net]

I visited American Aero in New Smyrna Beach yesterday and delivered a ZA ILS receiver for their PBY restoration.  The airframe is nearly complete and they are getting ready to paint.  They still have to do the interior work.  They have an RU-16 receiver and numerous plug in coils for it.  Looks like it is going to be just great!   That airplane has some significant history, being credited with the first sinking of a U-Boat by a USN PBY.  It was flown here form the Netherlands.  They have a total of three PBY's on hand for restoration.
