My tribute to the Martin P-6M Seamaster Jet Seaplane. This was born out of the Navy's desire to get into the strategic bomber game, but with no airfields, it had to be a seaplane. The plane had no gear so a beaching cradle was used to take it on land. Activation 1 drops the beaching cradle. You can take off from land with the cradle and then drop it once airborne or just drop it in the water before take off - it will sink away.

    @Danillio05 My Father used to watch them test when he worked there. I cant imagine one of these things rolling out Middle River today past the party at Hart-Miller and tearing up the Bay during takeoff. Would be a site for sure!
