Chuck,
as one of the volunteers working on both PBY's at Lee, the sight of N432RS doing a fly-by (or 4) and landing is one I will never forget. I still have a picture of one of the fly-by's on my office wall and a few of you, Mark & Clive as operating crew.
As for progress on the super cat - slow is the word with money being the main problem.
HARS looked at N423RS but decided against it for an unknown reason (I have a idea why though)
Visits to see both machines can be arranged if people are interested.
