And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

PBY’s over Hawaii ( 1940’s). Probably couldn't find three airworthy PBY's today.
There was a zero time PBY for sale at Moses Lake for years and years. I don't know if it ever sold. If you look around you can find the fkying, but like everything else they are expensive to operate.
My uncle served in WW2 as a PBY crewman, he said it was the worst plane ever. I found out years later that he had survived at least two crashes in PBY's at sea
