The old Jmaes Bond flick 'Man with the Golden Gun' was on TV while I was working out this afternoon. I remembered the Bottoms Up Club but had totally forgotten about the Seabee flying around the South China Sea. I guess it is because I was 15 years old when this movie came out. So what other movies have good seaplane action?

South Pacific. PBY.
You've got to be taught to hate and fear,
You've got to be taught from year to year,
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade,
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be carefully taught.
--Richard Rogers & Oscar Hammerstein
1949

While I haven't seen it yet, I'm told the movie 'Always', which came out in the '80's, is excellent. It has fire suppression water-bombing scenes with PBY's. The video clip entitled 'fishermen', which is floating around the internet, and I think is in the Files section here, is from this movie. (It's the comical clip with the two guys in the small boat about to get plowed over by a PBY).

Folks;<br /> I've had the privlage of around a thousand hours in a PBY. Flew it all over the carribean. We had 8 JETO bottles on it and fired them often. 2,4,6,or all at once. Nothing thrilling ,just an other experence. We made open sea landings and take offs at sea with the dark of the moon for lighting. My Boss wanted to touch all the islands in the carribean. I think we almost did too. Much more to tell,but then I'd have to kill you.<br /><br /> Papa Charlie<br />P.S. 6457C registered as Expermental

I hope we cross paths someday PC. I'd love to hear if only a few of those stories...<br /><br />I sail every year in the BVI and dream of seaplane adventures there. Its still very deserted in parts down there. But I'm sure its way more populated than when you were flying around down there.

Bret;<br /> I crewed on a Raven out of Miami Yacht Club in the 60's. George Stower Jr. talked us into crewing his Daddy's Boat 'Paper Tiger' by Charlie Morgan. This was one of the first fiber glass sailboats. It was 40 feet with a crew of eleven. I was just ballist. We contested in the SORC. Going up the fla straits at night in a noreaster the helsman could not hold a steady course, I took the helm as I was instrument rated. The sea was bad, over two waves then through the third. George came out of the cabin with a fire axe, he said he was going to cut the rigging to save the boat. We put him back into the cabin and told him to stay or we would tie him up. The boat never groned just kept driving into the wind. We came in third. Only longer boats beat us. Papa Charlie <br />

Talking of Boats.<br />Seven years ago my daughter said she wanted to sail around the world. Of course it's a phase we all go through and I told her so. Yesterday she phoned. Daddy, I've bought a boat, 43' C&C Landfall. You were wrong.'<br /><br />Daughters!
