Take a short ferryboat ride from the Manila Hotel to Cavite City which is located on Sangley Point right next to the Naval base.

Excellent Bob...very nice... Wink

Quick questions: could the Kingfisher do a wheel landing on a carrier and was it a larger aircraft than the Avenger? I was also wondering about crew compliment between both aircraft.
I also remember reading a long long time ago about a Kingfisher Pilot receiving a very high decoration for taxing the Kingfisher in rough seas with crew and rescued persons aboard. Dang I can not find a link to that but I am sure you might have some information on this.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Doug

I don't really know to much about them. You are going to have to do some Googling on the web. In a quick search I did run across this little information so I can assume it was capable of landing on a carrier.

AIRCRAFT: Kingfishers were rugged aircraft that flew either as floatplanes or as land-based navy aircraft with wheels, serving with the US Navy and with numerous Allied forces during World War II and for a short while afterward. Although originally designed as observation aircraft, they also handled such duties as rescue, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine missions, often operating from shipboard catapults.

The scenery is awesome, and the plane that goes with the picture the perfect choice. You captured some great screens!
Was the kingfisher a payware? Where can you get it?
