          You are correct! My original photo was a little deceiving as the single engine design wasn't too apparent. Rumint has it that the J-10 design was heavily influenced by the IAI Lavi.

                No, this plane was built by a man named Osborn.

                • This plane was rare for catapult launched scout planes, in that it had an inline engine.

                  • The manufacturer of this plane was much better known for a component of this type of plane than the plane itself.
                    You will see a lot of their product in Alaska.

                            • What I have learned in researching naval planes is less than half of all float planes built where ever accepted by the Navy.
