My best creation yet.

Description

An airplane designed for fun, for the sea, for the excitement of vacation. A plane that can serve as a private yacht. A plane filled with passion, with soul but most of all: a plane filled with engineering PERFECTION! (except for the labels, don't ask about the labels)

This airplane is designed to visit sceneries around the coast of tropical islands by scouting from above before swooping down to investigate them from up close. It's made as user friendly as possible and as convenient as possible for the pilot, as well as the single passenger. Its easy to fly and easy to land on both water and land. Reliable and made to last; forever your travel companion.

Inspiration

If you don't watch Animal Planet or the BBC's nature programmes, this is a Tropicbird:

This image was used for the colour scheme of this version of the aircraft.
A beach themed colour scheme can be found here

Some more inspiration was Nelson Bays in New Zealand.
For most of the time the water in the bay is calm enough for a seaplane like this one to land on, and when the weather and water is not suitable, the small airport is just next to the water.

Gallery

^This one makes a good custom Steam background for Simpleplanes^

NOTE: The aircraft in the pictures doesn't have the registration number and logos on since they looked bad with the shaders on and I am not skilled enough to attach them properly. You are welcome to remove them :)
