Range?
He said it will probably go for 10 million.
120 knots. It has a lot of drag.
Not sure about range.

Thanks all for looking! This was my first time shooting an aircraft for purposes of being used for a for sale ad. Shooting the interior was a little bit of a challenge and I learned some things.

A beautiful series of photos of this unique airplane! Last Saturday I was at the facility where those floats are manufactured.

For doing that the first time, you did an amazing job. It showed all the aspects of that plane in a manner that any prospective buyer would be able to get a very good impression of that plane before actually seeing it in person. It made the plane look very interesting. So—good job, and thanks for sharing that plane and your experience with us. I like the video, too. Boy, Florida sure is flat!!

Great set showing off a beautiful aircraft! Wonderful that you were able to get up close and personal before it disappears!

What a great job you did with that shoot!! 👍👍
SUSI Air flies Porters in very remote parts of Indonesia. There is show on the Outdoor channel about it: Air Pressure - Indonesia. I don't think they have any float planes, however.
Again a job well done. Cheers, Don

The price of the last Porters new was $1.9 M.
I can't imagine anyone paying $10 M for it. I'd guess about $1 M plus of minus. Cheers

I was told the floats alone are around 1 million.

We had one of the early, portable FLIR units for the helicopter when I was flying for the Alaska State Troopers, back in the 80’s. Now it’s built into the aircraft. It’s amazing what those things can “see.”
I worked on the development of the FLIR units (way back when) which we originally installed on helicopters for use in desert ops. They were a large pod just below the rotor blades in conjunction with LIDAR (Light Imaging Detection and Radar) and FOS (Faint Object Spectrograph). The original name of FLIR during development was "Faint Light Infrared" and was changed during final buy-off with the gov't.
