PBY Foundation embarks on new partnership with air station

It was 10 years ago that the PBY Memorial Foundation was established in an effort to bring a Catalina seaplane back to Oak Harbor and preserve its history. Ironically, just two days after NAS Whidbey Island celebrated its 66th birthday, the PBY Memorial Foundation marked its 10th anniversary Sept. 23 with a luncheon celebration at the CPO Club. Among the crowd of 100 people were guest speaker base NAS Whidbey Commanding Officer, Capt. Gerral David, Oak Harbor Mayor Jim Slowik and PBY president Win Stites, who once flew with Catalina squadron VP-91 from NAS Whidbey Island in 1945. Read the full story…
