Gotta be! You da man Sinco!

A 34 year old LM.....Mission Commander Red Flag Nellis AFB.
Incredible. You were flying it while I was trying to draw it...badly...

Thanks LM,

Sorry Mate, I'm afraid it's got to be another Open House as I'm off soon, get in there Graham!! PS Great drawing mate

I see that you evicted the pilot! That's what I thought RR had done with his Chinese Mig challenge the other day (or maybe it was being flown by the renowned Shenyang TP Yaunho Duks Lo) then the penny dropped that it was an RPV!

Hey, nice to see you back Noyade.

I would say that is not badly drawn at all.

F5 Ctrl V..........

I see that you evicted the pilot!
Well, he was an American! Ever heard of something erroneously called "friendly fire"?

Luckily, several months ago in response to another challenge, I bookmarked a seaplane/floatplane site - hundreds of them.

Now wading......

Was it experimental or production?

Looks like it's been overstressed.

I can't find a picture, but the description matches the Friedrichshafen FF.60 ??

Open House please if correct, as I really am going now. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Ton.

The Speedster it is.

Kadiac is the Inuit spelling of the Kodiak bear of Alaska.

You have control.
