FrankPilot 140 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 The beautiful, iconic Coral Route through the South Pacific in the 1950s between New Zealand (NZ) & Tahiti was the last flying boat route in the world. The Short Solent IV flying boat flying that route is preserved in an Auckland, NZ, museum & is the last remaining Short Solent in the world. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Looks like fun, I wish I could do it still today. Even if they could build a flying boat like that today everyone is in a hurry nowadays and they prefer speed over the fun of getting there. Not to mention what it would cost in today's dollars. Thanks for the views Frank, always enjoyable. BTW; The post only shows a link. FIXED BY JOE 1 Link to post Share on other sites
