This is only for lovers of the obscure and forgotten aircraft....so..... can you name the first one?.....

Name it and we'll move on...

Some sort of Japanese floater..?

Kawanishi or Kawasaki, Kawhatever... don't remember the model. This may have been the one w/folding wings, carried on a sub in an airtight deck hangar...?

Mitsubishi A6M2-N Model 11 Fighter Seaplane or as we called it a " Rufe "

Cessna Twin Squirrel 172, with floats?

Okay....is it an Aichi "Val" on floats?
