Summary edit
| Description | A Consolidated PB2Y-5R Coronado owned by Hughes Aircraft, probably late 1940s. This aircraft, BuNo 7099, is now undergoing restoration at the U.S. Navy National Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, Florida (USA). It was delivered to the U.S. Navy on 12 April 1943 and was outfitted as a flag transport. It shuttled high-ranking officers back and forth between Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. In August 1945 it transported Rear Admiral Forrest P. Sherman (Deputy CINCPAC) to Tokyo Bay to attend the formal surrender ceremonies ending the Second World War. In the following months it was ordered to China to support the occupation of that nation. It was damaged in a Hurricane and flown back to the United States in November 1945. When ist was stricken from the Navy inventory in August 1946 it was bought by Howard Hughes. It was kept in flying condition until the early 1960s and donated to the National Museum of Naval Aviation in 1977. |
