    My absolutely favorite airplane - of all time! - is the late 1020s two-engine bi-plane AMPHIBIAN Sikorsky S-38 (or even it's one-engine sibling, the S-39). ... It was referred to as the 'Air Yacht', and it could leisurely stay aloft at the incredibly slow stall speed in the low 60s MPH! ... I would so much have loved to leisurely fly it, island hopping, throughout the Caribbean, fish from its long flat-top nose - even barbecue on it! - while getting a tan on its lower wing! .. And, while a slow Jazzy torch song wails away from the phonograph, or the radio! .. Aaaaaaaaah! .. (There are still two or three in flying condition!)

    What do you know about one such plane crossing the Atlantic in 2010?
