    Very nice. I love old military seaplanes so it's nice to see one recovered so more people can develop the same addic....er, affinity.
    Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

    If you happen to come across the TV series "Wings of the Luftwaffe" on the Military Channel, there is an excellent episode on German seaplanes and flying boats, good segment on the He115. Whole series well worth watching.
