With some guys it is Pen!s envy with me it is PBY envy. I spent over 1400 hours as a flight engineer in P Boats in the USCG and when I read posts such as yours I get a bit nostalgic. I personally believe the P Boat is the best aircraft ever made with the possible exception of the JRF in which I got a lot of right seat time.
Edited to put the second l in Chucks' last name.
