PBY beached during filming of movie

Too bad to hear about that Catalina, but a fair number of us Southerners have spent a few number of hours at the ol' watering hole "Flora-Bama" :dizzy:

The last time I visited that bar was in the early 90s. I don't live that far from it now, but don't like going to tourist spots like that now. NC
 
Forgot to mention that I collect books about the tragedy of the USS Indianapolis (CA-35). I think I have copies of every book written about it, including one called "Goodbye Indy Maru", by Katherine D. Moore, who's husband was one of the Indianapolis crew who perished.

I order most most of my books, used, off the internet. They're usually in quite good shape, and in this case, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book was actually signed by the author.

I am originally from Indianapolis, where there is a memorial for that ship. NC
 
Conversation about it on the Warbird Information Exchange forum is that the nose gear doors are a problem area on PBY's for letting water in. This particular PBY has been a common sight around Arlington Airport and Paine Field, north of Seattle.

I wasn't even aware of another movie about the USS Indianapolis being made, but I read about it today in the Pensacola News Journal. Nicholas Cage stars in it. There is a PBY featured, and apparently it started taking on water near the beach. NC

Shame about the Cat, unfortunately the film will be a dud........Nicholas Cage is the kiss of death for any production!
 
i liked alot of cages early work..like moonstruck and silverado (one of my favs)and i watched him in a movie about Wyatt Earp last night and i have to say i enjoyed it,but i also couldnt help thinking he was trying to be quiet cool like Clint Eastwood in those spagetti westers (which i love,the good the bad and the ugly is a fav as is two mules for sister sara)but he doesnt cut it...Tom Sellic is much better at it in movies like Monty Walsh.which if you havent seen that,its worth it..good movie..

ummmm whats this thread about?? :untroubled:
 
In the movie Firebirds, all I could think of was what a greasy mess the inside of that helmet must be.
I guess he couldn't deal with cutting his hair short for the part so he had gobs of grease to pack it down.

So if you are in the market for movie memorabilia and someone is trying to sell you Cages helmet from firebirds, look inside.
If there are a couple of quarts of oil sloshing around then it is probably legit.
