PBY-38 Catalightning

4 Nagmeister  5.0 years ago

A heavy seaplane capable of extremely long-range flight. Armed with flare dispensers for sticky situations.

Carries over 5,000 gallons of fuel, cruises at around 250mph, and I haven't been bored enough to test its range. Can also easily carry bombs or air-to-ground missiles and guns if need be.
