Love that photo. I was browsing ads for those Cessnas for fun last month and came across this one with canards and higher performance. Would love to have a lake house and this parked on the shore. https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/198539311/cessna-182-skylane-floatplane-piston-amphibious-slash-floatplanes
thanks. Cool plane, looks like fun. Range seems to be an issue unless you want to fight in your own back yard....but cool none the less.
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.
1924 image from the Packard collection at the Detroit Public Library. The caption is as follows: "Packard Co. file photograph of a 1924 Packard, top lowered, Washington license plate #36-703, male driver, plane on lake in background. Inscribed on photo back: 1924 Packard eight Model 136, runabout and Boeing F-B." Image Unavailable, Please Login
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.
Little off topic, but just watched a really neat series on Amazon Prime about the development and history of the flying boats: Image Unavailable, Please Login
I figured a periscope, too, but yeah apparently hydraulically operated seat that goes up and extends a windshield. Pic here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWings/comments/a9zgf8/a_bisnovat_sk1/
Very beautiful photo. Do you have it in Hi Res? Thank you in advance. Amazing photo, thanks for posting.
It was on my Facebook feed, but an image search found it here: http://aopa.org/-/media/Images/AOPA-Main/News-and-Media/Publications/Pilot-Magazine/2020/2004/2004p_quebec_001/2004p_quebec_001_16x9.jpg
The only place that I know of with flat terrain near the water( Lake Washington) would be the ex- Sand Point Naval Air Station.
