memory_description: I remember as a child, my Father was an Electrician and worked for TVA all over the SouthEast. He would bring presents to my Brother and I and one of the presents was a Sea-Plane with pontoons that you wound with a key and it would move as a Sea-Plane trying to takeoff. My parents had a hard time trying to get me out of the bathtub.
I saw one listed on eBay that was close to the design but not just right. Who know's, if I find one my wife may have a hard time getting me out of the bath.
At 60 I'm still a child at heart and I don't plan on ever growing up.
