I don't know if this applies to anyone else, but I was and still am a big fan of the disney Cartoon TAILSPIN. For those who dont know the prefix of the cartoon, It was set in the thirties and revolved around an air transport company. most of the caracters were from the Disney JUNGLE BOOK movie. Baloo the bear was the main caracter as a cargo pilot. many key jungle book caracters, Shere Kahn, Raa the snake, And king louie played roles close to there jungle book counterparts. But the real stars of the cartoon were the aircraft. Almost every airplane was an anphibian because most of the places that were shown were islands or open ocean. Most of the planes were of course, cartoon like, while some closly resembled real world aircraft. I was about 10 when it aired and already loved airplanes and was enthralled by the variety of planes that flashed across the screen. But, The one plane that has been imprinted in my mind for over a decade, was Baloo's airplane, a Conwing L-16 he called the “SEA DUCK”. It was a beautiful twin engine yellow cargo seaplane that was so well drawn that it looked like it was drawn from a real aircraft bluprint. Now, at 21, that little yellow plane still haunts my thoughts. I own all the Microsoft games inculding fs2004 and cfs2 and wonder if anyone has thought of making a version of the SEA DUCK for cfs2?
