Another fine contribution from Ken Fletcher.
This is a civilian airline version of the Strelski 3003T patrol/torpedo bomber. It is from Vostok, a White Russian nation on large islands in the Central North Pacific Ocean. This civilian aircraft is likely to be part of the Vostok Naval Reserve, and it can be easily converted into an armed Navy seaplane.

The Southwing SW40-P
From Spontoon Island a very nice floatplane indeed.
The Southwing SW 40-P is a small floatplane fighter, part of a series of seaplanes marketed to small island nations in the South Pacific by a consortium of designers & manufacturers from New Zealand and Australia.

Course Correction
""Course Correction" uses a fictional character I invented, called Saara Mar. This particular illustration is of the "couldn't happen" variety, as Saara didn't arrive on Earth until 1970. I just couldn't resist it."
