Photo Comment

This Catalina is displayed outdoors under a roof at Museum Pusat TNI-AU Dirgantara Mandala and carries the emblem of Skadron Udara 5, which had six of these aircraft based at Husein Sastranegara. This particular aircraft is not the real PB-501 but ex N1563M, which was shipped from California to the museum by Bruce Fenstermaker in exchange for salvage rights to collect WW2 Japanese aircraft on Babo Island.
