CANT Z.511 Italian Seaplane https://www.destinationsjourney.com/cant-z-511-italian-seaplane/ #aeroplane #aviation #Aircraft #airplane #CANTZ511 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWar2 #WW2 #RegiaAeronautica #Floatplane #seaplane

The CANT Z.511, was a large, four-engine Italian seaplane developed during the late 1930s. Designed by Filippo Zappata of Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico (CRDA), the Z.511 was conceived as a long-range transport aircraft capable of transatlantic flights between Europe and South America. However, with the onset of World War II, its role shifted to potential military applications, including reconnaissance and special operations.

Initially, the aircraft was to be powered by Alfa Romeo 135 engines; however, due to delays in their development, CRDA sought permission to acquire Wright R-2600 engines from the United States. These negotiations were unsuccessful, leading to the selection of Piaggio P.XII RC.35 engines, each producing 1,500 horsepower. Despite their power, these engines were considered underpowered for the aircraft's size, resulting in a maximum take-off weight of 34,200 kg and a range of approximately 4,350 km.

Only two prototypes of the Z.511 were constructed. The first, designated MM.396, made its maiden flight on October 19, 1940. Initial tests revealed issues with the aircraft's controls, which were addressed over the following months. By February 1942, official trials commenced, and the aircraft demonstrated the ability to take off and land in rough seas.

The Kawanishi E15K Shiun, Allied reporting name “Norm”, was a Japanese single-engine reconnaissance floatplane developed during World War II.

@geerlingguy any chance of looking into #Peertube? #selfhost your own #videos, get paid through #patrons, #tips, direct #sponsorships?

I set up a peerture recently for #FiresideFedi and it's the best way to allow folks to watch your videos IMO

You're not beholden to other companies. Even #Floatplane can be #pressured by law suits, #BigTech, etc. Just because it hasn't doesn't mean it won't. Doubt they'd risk their #platform for 1 person.

De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver taking off from the seaplane base at AirVenture in 2007 on Lake Winnebago. #Photography #PhotographyOnMastodon #Aircraft #Aviation #DHC2Beaver #AhhDeHaviland #FloatPlane #AirVenture #Oshkosh #LakeWinnebago

(Edited because I forgot the Alt text, sorry!)

A De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane is taking off from the water. The plane is seen from behind, with its floats (pontoons) skimming the surface of the water, creating a spray. The propeller is blurred, indicating motion. The background shows a vast expanse of water under a cloudy sky.

A red and white seaplane (Canadian flag colours and maple leaf graphics, kind of) slowly cuts through calm water. It is reflected in the water. Behind it, multistory buildings, perhaps an apartment building, look on & also reflect on the water. In the foreground, an out of focus streetlamp occupies the left side of the image.

Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.

Bloch MB.480 Floatplane
Designed as a twin-engined torpedo-bomber/reconnaissance floatplane for the French Navy, the Bloch MB.480 first flew in June 1939. Although testing was successfully completed, the Navy had decided to use landplanes for its intended role.

Seversky SEV-3M-WW in Colombian Service
First flying in 1933, the Seversky SEV-3 was a three-seat monoplane amphibian. The Colombian Air Force ordered six SEV-3M-WW amphibians. Only four were actually delivered. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/seversky-sev-3m-ww-in-colombian-service/ #aeroplane #airplane #amphibian #amphibiousaircraft #aviation #ColombianAirForce #Floatplane #plane #Seversky #SeverskySEV3 #SeverskySEV3MWW

Seversky SEV-3 Amphibian
First flying in 1933, the Seversky SEV-3 was a three-seat monoplane amphibian. It could either be fitted with twin amphibious floats which had main wheels fitted in the floats to allow it to operate from land, or with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage with the mainwheels enclosed in large fairings. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/seversky-sev-3-amphibian/ #aeroplane #airplane #amphibian #amphibiousaircraft #aviation #Floatplane #plane #Seversky #SeverskySEV3

Here's a video I want to age like curdled milk. Age so quickly it's out-of-date a week after it's made. The issues I've outlined here should be fairly simple fixes if they follow Apple's accessibility guidelines, so here's hoping someone at Floatplane Media can get some eyes on this.
I've tried to be as fair as possible, not just to make a 'bitch and ditch' style video, and to showcase the issues I have.
Please boost if you have an interest, or know that it can potentially reach someone who can make a difference.
Not my cup of tea to ask for those under normal circumstances, so I will not be making a habit of it.
Thanks.

Today we take a look at the PBM-5A, the free prize of the Skilled Marksmen Battlepass.

So join me as we take a look at this aircraft, look at its stats and discuss how I think it will play in War Thunder.
