Hi folks,

I am looking for an Avid Catalina here in Canada.  Let me know what you have and what condition.

I don't mind traveling for the right plane or project.

Thanks once again

I just saw some of your pics....that's what I call freedom to fly!   really nice.  If I'm near Vancouver I will definitely checkout your Catalina!

Can you actually fit two passengers?

The Avid Catalina is not large. If you are a bit underfed/small it's great. To give you an example, My family can all fit .... I am 135Lbs 5ft4, my wife 125Lbs 5ft5 and my son is 85Lbs 4ft9. The rear seat is actually quite spacious as you have nearly 39 in across for one person. In the rear the limitation is mostly leg size and someone over 5ft4 would be too big.

I have taken up a 185Lbs passenger (copilot) and found that to be snug. If both pilot and copilot are in the 180-190Lbs you definitely have to get along....

Well..I guess it's perfect for couples.

Apparently there are 3 Avid Catalinas in Ontario with owners well in the 80's
