Hi all,
Last weekend, a seaplane airshow was held at Biscarrosse in the South-West of France.
Here some pics of the three stars of this very good show (Catalina, Albatross and Beriev) and some other.

Thank you for sharing those wonderful images. What a machine the BE-200ES is!

Great to see some fine images from this event. Looks like the forecast weather didn't happen, were the additional shots taken on the same day?

Or even a freshwater lake show? Last time the question of salt-water landings was asked, the 'Miss Pick Up' custodians indicated that corrosion prevention & the sheer scale of post-flight cleaning precluded such activity.

The NZ Catalina has the same restriction - they regularly operate from Lake Wanaka and Lake Taupo, but never salt water.

Lets extend the lake at Old Warden!! That's a different Cat, any idea where it's based? That Beriev is something else! Cheers!
