A good old friend of mine was a Chief Petty Officer pilot of PBY's when Pearl Harbor happened. He was immediately 'mustanged' to the rank of ensign, eventually retiring as Lieutenant Commander. He said the shock of going from CPO to ensign was worse than an ice cold shower.

It wasn't your mate that made the quote "The PBY is so slow, the only thing we had to worry about when flying this ship was bird strike.................. From the rear"

Yes, Tahiti X is very tempting. Looks superb, just like in real life.

Really is a beautiful place. I sort of want to buy it to cure the urge to want to go back, but I don't think it works like that.
