NC74680 was the sole money maker for the short lived Totem Air Service of Alaska. Stripped of most of its Totem livery, the bird awaits new owners at Boeing Field.
The flagship of Totem Air in its earlier days.
Resting after long years of service with the RCAF, 11075 was sold and eventually was converted to a fire bomber.
Air France was also in the post-war Catalina business.
This PBY served with the Army Air Forces as an OA-10A, then later flew for various owners in Canada. Seen here in the markings of its former owner, Pacific Western Airlines, the bird was later purchased for use as a fire bomber. Sadly, it crashed, but the wreckage is stored at the Pima Air Museum.
Another bird that started life as an OA-10A. Seen here while operating with Alaska Coastal-Ellis Airlines, the plane later served owners in the US and Canada, but it has survived and is now on display at McChord AFB.
Nicknamed “Temptress”, N788C is seen at Boeing Field in the 1960s.
“Temptress” is now at the Liberty Aviation Museum in Ohio.
