Norway's potentially airworthy Catalina.

The Ju52 in Norway used floats when they mainly operated around the coast of Norway.They also transported sick people to hospitals when needed.Then the pax had to wait.Some of the Ju 52 also had Germans markings on.The museum at Bodø I found dark,but ok.There was some arguments about moving the museum up north,but theres a museum at Gardermoen I found better.We had a fly in last year at Gardermoen.I was a pax in Broussard LN-WNB(See my profile picture).

Ah, I saw this aircraft at Bodo a few years ago, lovely little museum with a rich assortment of aircraft. Where else can you see a JU-52 on floats?

Its a shame that they didnt kept the Catalina airworthy.During the ferry flight to Bodø the Catalina had a stopover at Sola.My former CO at Sola was a crewmember at Catalinas during the “fiftees” and inspected the aircraft on this occation.

During my stay at Sola as armour corporal he told me lots of stories about flying Catalinas in harsh Norwegian climate.He later flew Albatrosses and ended his flying service in P3 Orion.

I see some of the famous Brit Jets such as Jaguars,Buccaneers,Canberra etc.Most bizzarre of the aircrafts was the French Breuget Atlantic,but the most memorable of them all.A Lookheed U2 with blue and white paintscheme.
