We had 2 of those here at KWHP a few years back, they were being restored, and they flew regularly. I would bet this is one of them.
The Catalina is one of the most common warbirds. A lot of survivors.

agreed - any aviation mechanic of the USCG during WWII would have it back in the air in 24 hours.

Dang it
My Dad flew in those in the Navy.
I got to ride in one when I was a kid (they were used in Alaska to ferry passengers to Islands, and those bubble windows are not watertight, I got soaked on landing)

it is obvious the barge crew didn’t know what they were doing. More than likely they were told it was salvage and made no effort to save it. Sad!

..Just watched Con Air take the Vegas strip out...
And there’s the 67 Corvette Stingray that fell from the sky. Enough to make a grown man cry.

That picture sure looks worse than the picture in #1. That said, I have flown aboard aircraft that had previously crashed badly, requiring rebuild of major sections of wing and fuselage.

I think they would be awful noisy with the engines right overhead.

She refused to look at all the ladies bathroom stalls to see if Jagger had really autographed them.
