Wings Over Camarillo 2016 - Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer; BuNo 66302, N2871G

            4Y-2 LLC's rare Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer; BuNo 66302, N2871G. This aircraft was on static display during the airshow.

This is the only airworthy Privateer currently flying anywhere in the world.

This aircraft was delivered to the US Navy as PB4Y-2 BuNo 66302 in 1945 and was subsequently transferred to the US Coast Guard and redesignated P4Y-2G. It was scheduled to be disposed of in August 1958 at NAS Elizabeth City, North Carolina, but the airplane was instead purchased by Ace Smelting Inc, Phoenix, Arizona. In 1959 the airplane was placed into aerial tanker service as N2871G with Avery Aviation, Greybul, Wyoming. Hawkins and Powers Aviation of Greybull, Wyoming bought it in July 1969 and flew it as tanker 121. The original powerplants - 1,350-hp Pratt & Whitney R-1830-94 radials - were replaced with 1,700 hp Curtiss-Wright R-2600-35 Cyclones when modified for fire bomber service. It remained in service fighting fires until 2003. It was obtained in an auction in 2006 by 4Y-2 LLC
