'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.

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.
