Summary

[edit]
Description

Built as a PB4Y-2 for US Navy service with Bureau No 66300. Later transferred to the US Coast Guard, still with serial No 66300. Sold in 1958 and registered as N2872G, she was converted into a ‘Super Privateer’ with R-2600 Cyclone engines. She was then used for fire fighting, becoming tanker No ‘B24’ with Avery Aviation. She joined Hawkins & Powers in 1970 as tanker No ‘124’ and operated with them until 2002. She was sold to Yanks in 2006 when H&P closed down and was delivered to Chino in November 2008. She remains airworthy, although is currently stored outside. The museum has located original side blisters and will eventually restore her to military condition. Yanks Air Museum, Chino, California, USA.
