Ron,
How exciting to hear that about the history of that ramp you wrote
about. As many times as my wife would go out to Renton Field to watch all
the awesome stuff going on I never new that. Pretty cool!! THANKS!! Ted

Where did they do the test flight? It reminds me of Young's Bay.

My guess is at Renton Field, south end of Lake Washington near Seattle.

Yup, John's right: The plane was built in the Ellison hangar on Renton
Airport,
on Lake Washington. The seaplane ramp in the video is the same place
Wiley Post
and Will Rogers left from, and where the Douglas World Cruisers got
