The model of the P5m-2G is beautiful. I flew these at the USCG Air Station in St. Pete, FL back in 1958-59. It's quite a plane, but I wish there were some models in USCG colors. It was very stable in the water and flew like a dream. It was the only plane I flew co=pilot with my uncle, Commander John C.Redfield. The plane is very special to me because of that.
