Boeing 304 boatplane or planeboat
Last week I was in Boca Raton Florida for a Dassault Falcon Jet M and O meeting and docked outside of the hotel in the marina was a fuselage of a Boeing 304 that had been converted into a boat. There was a picture of this boat, er plane or whatever a little while back in Jet Blast in a “Captions” threats.
Anyway, I was invited onboard one night and was able to take some pictures of the interior including the cockpit, er bridge (?) and hopefully I will soon be able to post them here. The guy that owns the boat seems pretty nice, however he is in a bit of a finical bind from what I could determine. His goal is to have the cockpit fully restored and have all the instruments in working condition. The Flight Engineer’s panel is still installed, however none of the instrumentation works mostly due to the fact that there are no longer four engines.
Pictures soon.
