Good luck for the people that fuel those things lol. When I used to work at SMO we had one that used to come in and when they requested fuel nobody wanted to go out to fuel them. That thing is SOOOO high and when your up there it feel like you are on top of the world, well not like that but you guys know what I mean.... 

[Josh]

Yeah no kidding, first one there is the very first one I had ever seen in person and I couldn't believe how tall it was, especially compared to the SEL 208 model.

[NikonGuy]

Yep and try fueling that thing on a 6 foot latter and on the top not the last step but the top top top.

The lower one looks like "Da-Plane Da-Plane" from the old Fantisy Island TV show.

Thanks, I was at the Barnes and Noble over here by work (warner ctr) and they had an Austrialian Aviation Mag and they had this plane in it getting ready for the ferry flight.  They have a section for various photos of plane movements.  Don't see too many sea planes at TOA.
