	*Tradewind Try-Out* The Convair R3Y Tradewind was a four-engine, turboprop-powered seaplane. Each Allison T-40 engine was actually two engines in one, driving two counter-rotating propellers. The R3Y-1 (shown here) could carry 80 troops or 72 litter patients for medical evacuation. The R3Y-2 had a bulbous nose that opened upwards for loading cargo at dockside. In 1954 the R3Y-1 set a transcontinental seaplane speed record from San Diego to NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, averaging 403 mph. This record still stands. Unfortunately, their engines were unreliable and all eleven R3Y-1s and -2s were withdrawn from service in 1958.
Psst... To avoid the gnawing 12-month period of suspense to see all 12 pieces (along with lots of aviation anniversaries (When did the first pig fly?), incredible trivia (What is Godzilla's "birthday"?), and outrageous quotes from people that should know better) place your order for the Aerocatures™ Calendar now!
