Where is its sister ship? IIRC Coulson had two of them. I forget which one came to OSH a few years back.

This one came to the seaplane base. It's HUGE!

Being a high wing on the water, how are the lower spark plugs reached for removal? Do they need to tow it to a dock in order to have a work platform positioned for access?

They have a barge with a work platform on it.

The phpBB won't allow us to embed FaceBook or Insta video but I wanted to note that this was an amazing sendoff video from the BC Aviation Musuem in British Columbia, Canada.

The music came from the Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack and is amazing.

While there are regrets that I have in life, I won't have the regret of not taking my kids to Oshkosh because I wanted them to see this aircraft. We got to see if multiple times including at a trip to the Oshkosh Seaplane Base.
