German Arado Ar 196A seaplane at an aircraft hangar, 1939
Sharp looking aircraft.
Wondered if there were any still flying and if I could get a ride on one
“No, the German Arado Ar 196A seaplane is not currently flying. While several examples of this aircraft survive, they are all preserved for static display in museums and are not airworthy. Production of the Ar 196 ended with World War.
Only three Ar 196 floatplanes from the original production run of 526 (excluding prototypes) are known to still exist.
These surviving aircraft are displayed in museums, including the Bulgarian Air Force Museum, the National Air and Space Museum, and the U. S. Naval Aviation Museum.”
