Bob, great film! Just a pretty little airplane! Thanks for finding and posting this! Finally, I can see that insignia are on the top and bottom of the wings.
According to this article I saw years ago- Wings or Airpower(?) the S stands for Soerabaya, which was where this was going to be based.
Wondering if this was taken there, or was a factory shot wherever Ryan was, in those days.
I believe this was the prototype and was taken at San Diego Calif.
...and in color, too - sweet!
Fun to see aerobatics from something with pontoons hanging off of it!
I've known about the plane for along time, but I was surprised to see what it did in the video.
Shame what happened to the pore thangs in Java and other Indies places. Cool video thanks for the look.
