I flew two different Cats in Africa during the period of 1996 to 1999, one was flying for French TV ( FT1 ) on a contract that involved flying around the continent. After we finished that contract we used that machine in air shows in Europe and in 1998 we flew the Aeropostale mail route from Toulouse to Santiago and we also flew it out of Sao Paulo during the winter of 99/200.
The second one was owned by an airplane collector and I finally flew it from J-Berg to England and where we did some flying for Miramax and finally in 2003 I flew it to Suffolk Virginia to its new owner " The Fighter Factory ".
There is a very detailed history of this airplane on the web site of The Fighter Factory if you wish to google it and click on the Catalina in their web site.
