A very interesting and well‐equipped facility here at the home of Setouchi Seaplanes. Planes are taken down / hoisted from the deck-style apron before / after flights. 2015-built first plane for the airline is seen on this huge elevator prior to the day's morning flight. Happy 1st anniversary for Setouchi Seaplanes in 2017! [Nikon D300, Nikkor 80-400mm F4.5-5.6]
