KORDATC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If Catalina Island ever makes it’s way to MSFS, I have but one request. Please make Avalon harbor and pier accessible to flying boats/seaplanes. I want to fly this route with the excellent Grumman Goose available for MSFS.

TigerTigerM Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 With his attention to detail I imagine Ken Hall will have this covered. I understand that Catalina is one of his current projects, and upon completion he has undertaken to fill the half empty hangar at Bryce Canyon with intriguing items , & tether a horse there too.

Ken Q Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 A question or a request: I absolutely love the Orbx Catalina scenery for FSX/P3D, and fly there to the "Airport in the Sky" very frequently. But is this seaplane base part of this scenery? If not it might be something to consider for a future update. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Another question, Rob, What is the date of that wonderful brochure? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall it there, and I don't see it in the promotional photos. The pier is there, but the dock for the seaplanes to launch is not. Not to mention, there are a bunch of sailboats sitting in the way of what would be the "taxiway/runway". Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken There is no date listed on the timetable, but it would have been sometime between 1963 & 1969. That is when the company used the name Catalina Air Lines. Before that, they were known as Avalon Air Transport, and then originally Catalina Air Transport. Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
