Airborne 10.30.20: PBY Catalina Rescue, SeaMax Amphibs, Water on the Moon

'Rescue Miss Pick Up from Loch Ness!' is the rallying cry for a project on GoFundme that is trying to keep one of the few remaining PBY Catalinas flying...the bird had to make an emergency landing in, of all places, Loch Ness.

Miss Pick Up is the name of one of the world's few airworthy Catalina flying boats and is currently operated by Plane Sailing based in Duxford, Cambridge. Miss Pick Up ran into engine problems while operating on Loch Ness on Saturday, October 17th. RNLI Loch Ness helped them secure the aircraft following engine troubles and assisted in towing the aircraft to safety. Seamax Aircraft, has launched their long-awaited company assembly operations in the USA. Seamax is ready to add an "assembled in the USA" tag to their aircraft, the Seamax M-22. This company has been planning this move for the past three years, requiring extensive market research and engineering upgrades. For this task, the company engaged with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where some 100 students, both graduate, and undergraduate students tutored by business professors, prepared comprehensive business assessments. NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. This discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to cold, shadowed places. SOFIA has detected water molecules (H2O) in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
