40.1k 50CalChicken  1.8 years ago

A seaplane from the 1940s, it is very reliable and can land on water very well.

AG-3 for engine that allows you to maneuver in the water.
VTOL for flaps

Nicknamed "Barnacles" due to the fact that it would sit in port for quite some time and accumulate barnacles, it was first build the 1946, it was used to ferry large amounts of cargo and people to and from costal places with no airport. It can be easily outfitted with large amounts of armament, as there was a fear of a WWIII possible happening, though it was never needed to be armed. It is still in use today as a sightseeing and transport aircraft.
