1930 Sikorsky S-39
Livery: Giraffe cammo, a salute to its service in Africa
Tail number NC50V
From the S-39, a panoramic view of one of the Sikorsky’s colorful floats and Rich Hornbeck’s Waco ASO. The two aircraft maintained a loose formation during a mail run.

I remember seeing the two Sikorsky flying boats owned by
Martin and Osa Johnson at the Chanute Airport about 1933 or 1934. We lived in Chanute, Kansas at the time, and took
photographs of both planes (unfortunately, none of the photos exist today).
