busnproplinerfan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 i saw one of the retired NL PBYs in Gander Newfoundland last summer at their museum. Was quite rough from sitting outside for years. There's another one up north from their, forget the town, didn't get to see it, recently repainted into grey wartime colours, it to is sitting outside. Don't realize how big they are till you're under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This F-86 was a former WGAF Canadair Mk6 that was contracted to CONDOR & equiped as a Target Tug... hence the cable reel housing under the tail & the wing framework to hold the target. AIRSPRAY bought this and got a contract to provide same service to the Canadian Forces at Cold Lake just to the North of Red Deer. Since then this 86 has been sold to the US, repainted & is on the air show circuit. What isn't obvious here is the WGAF modified many of their 86s with Martin Baker Mk5 ejection seats. Far superior than the original NAA design especially considering the Germans used this as a low level fighter-bomber in mountainous terrain. However the MB seat was much taller requiring canopy mods so it lifted up to clear the seat as it slid back. There was a limited run decal sheet re AIRSPRAY available years ago.
