Fotoflyingdays Malle 2011

This aircraft is a replica of Martin and Osa Johnson's 1929 S-38 Amphibious Sikorsky Aircraft.
During the mid-30's this adventurous couple shipped the S38 and S39 (a single engine like a giraffe)to Cape Town. Flying over 60.000 miles they took thousands of pictures and made the first documentories of the African natives and wildlife.
The construction began in 2000 and was completed after 40.000 manhours in 2002.
Today Osa's Ark is the only one flying in the world.
