The Blohm & Voss Ha 140 was a German multi-purpose seaplane first flown in 1937. It was intended for use as a torpedo bomber or long-range reconnaissance aircraft, but did not enter production.

Three prototypes were built and the design beat the competing Heinkel He 115. However, by then B&V did not have enough spare capacity and declined the order, which went to Heinkel instead.

Floatplanes drawn up on the lakeshore at AirVenture 2003, their pontoons resting in the shallows while tents and day‑camp setups line the tree line behind. Visitors drift between the aircraft in the warm mid‑summer light, capturing the relaxed, communal rhythm of the seaplane area that year — a quiet counterpoint to the intensity of the main flightline.#AirVenture2003 #Oshkosh #EAA #Seaplane #Floatplane #BushFlying #GeneralAviation #AvGeek #AviationPhotography #AviationHistory #Photography
