I'd Fly That

  1. Red is the right color for that.

  2. Turboprop power would liven it up, and increase the payload.

  3. Took a flight in one some years ago in New Zealand. My dad had been in the NZ air force during the war and served in the Pacific - he was an engine mechanic firstly but a jack of all trades really. He saw lots of Catalinas in the islands but never worked on them or got to fly in one so I treated him. We did a water landing on Lake Taupo which was cool. He didn't like how the engines sounded on take off so still had an ear for such things even though he was in his late 70's. Great guy, been dead a few years now but I still miss him.
