PBY homecoming

Hundreds gathered at the NAS Whidbey Seaplane Base Friday, September 18 for the arrival of a PBY Catalina, an amphibious patrol aircraft that based out of Oak Harbor during World War II. Efforts are underway to obtain such an aircraft for display in Oak Harbor. Many PBYs, including this one, were converted for use in fire suppression. The PBY flew in, landed in Crescent Harbor and taxied in to the ramp used decades ago for such purposes. It will remain on display for several days.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
