    Makes me wonder how far they could fly with MODERN turboprop engines. I still love the boxy shape of the old 314.

      Turboprops are not known for their fuel efficiency.

      It's oddly beautiful, isn't it?

    A pretty good replica. Of course, not a single 314 survived to be preserved, more's the pity. But this re-creation would give one a good idea of what it must have been like if one had actually survived.

      It is an incredible replica - you can walk throughout the cabin

      Two 314 clippers still exist. Sadly they are at the bottom of the ocean

      Sadly that also applies to almost every flying boat :'(

    This was when international air travel was for the rich! The rest of the world traveled by slow boat!

    I thought that Boeing Clipper was under cold water in Ireland, still in good condition. Was it finally raised. Boy, there's lottsa room. The cockpit is huge , seemingly comfortable, passenger area ...wow. I worked for charter airlines afterwards, even did service for Air Linguis , as FA. I worked at PAA was there day it closed...no one knew, it was quite shocking . I received my last paycheck that day. All these years later remembered. Mark M., Miami.

    If a family owned one, they could visit more places on Earth than 90% of humanity.
