RARE Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer ACTION!

This video summarizes all you might like to know about the usually-overlooked derivative of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator strategic bomber—the U.S. Navy (and later Coast Guard) PB4Y-2 and -2G Privateer maritime attack and reconnaissance aircraft. As with all our AeroDinosaur productions, you will get a plate full of evolutionary, technical and historical background information on the aircraft (including civilian STC modifications) as well as modern-day operational footage. In this case, we sample the operations of the only PB4Y-2 that flies today—a re-engined ex-U.S. Coast Guard PB4Y-2G (N2871G) as maintained and flown by premiere warbird restorer GossHawk, Unlimited out of Casa Grande, Arizona. We caught them on a June 2022 visit for an event at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in St. Louis County, Missouri. Thanks for watching and please hit the LIKE and SUBSCRIBE buttons and tap the BELL.
