TV link on the Dutch Cat

[Chuck Ellsworth]

Hi troops, it's been a while since I've posted here.

I spent the past four months flying PH PBY a beautiful restoration that is doing the airshow circuit and carrying passengers based at the Aviodrome at Lelystad Holland.

The last two days that I flew it were for the celebration of Harbour Days in Rotterdam.

All ship traffic was stopped for 45 minutes on Thursday Sept. 01 and Friday 02 so we could land on the river in downtown Rotterdam.

On Friday we dropped off the Mayor of Rotterdam with some other dignitaries in the river....attached is a TV clip of about four minutes with several shots of the Dutch Cat, including the landing in the river.

Wonderful to see it fly.

Was updated on the project by the chaps in the 185 amphib and a 182 attending a fly-in up north.

Hi Nardi..

I'm back home in Canada after spending almost four months in Holland.

I will be going back to Holland in the spring to do their recurrent stuff.
