Hi David,
Thanks for the additional background on N68756, sorry to hear that it is now in storage (Texas is not too far a drive- perhaps I can get that photo I missed out on as a teenager….).
The ditching of N5404J was most unfortunate, can’t imagine what it must have been like for those involved to acquire the Catelina only to have that happen. Kinda reminds me of the B-29 Kee-Bird that was almost recovered from Greenland.
