FS2004/FSX Heinkel He 59 Floatplane. In 1930, Ernst Heinkel began developing an aircraft for the Reichsmarine. The He 59A floatplane prototype paved the way for the He 59B initial production model, of which 142 were delivered in three variants. The Heinkel He59 was a pleasant aircraft to fly; deficiencies noted were the weak engine, the limited range, the small load capability and insufficient armament. This model depicts a Heinkel He59 B2 of the 3/KurFLGr 106 (Kustenfliegergruppe 106), stationed at Borkum, Nov 1939 . Tested in FS2004/FSX/FSXacceleration, Win7/8.1. Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.
