Anyone into the old Pan Am China Clippers?

Certainly Polynesian related as they flew across the Pacific in the golden era of Hawaii's tourism. If you don't know about them, it is definately worth a look! I have several flying boat models, including a Boeing B-314 and a Martin M-130 which I will hang in my Tiki Hut when it is done. And coolest of all Juan Trip (the creater of Pan American Airlines) started it all here flying S-38s from Key West to Havana. :D

This is a great site about these amazing planes.

very cool link , thanks !

Beautiful planes...I used to attend the Boshears fly-in (A C.A.F. event in Augusta, Georgia) every year to see aircraft of that period. SOmewhere I have a picture of me sitting on the wing of a Mitsubishi Zero (dressed as a WW2 G.I.!) I'll post if I can find it.
