    This plane looks awesome! If I got it right, it has an extendable seat for TO & L. I'd love to see how this looks like.

    This appears to a photo shop image of a ground shot of an F4U inserted into a cloud background. Full flaps and down elevator isn't the right set up for flight in this image.

    I figured a periscope, too, but yeah apparently hydraulically operated seat that goes up and extends a windshield.

    I recognized that as a Boeing FB3, I think. Notice the Fokker D7 style wing-to-body struts.

    The only place that I know of with flat terrain near the water( Lake Washington) would be the ex- Sand Point Naval Air Station.
