Besides this being just another pointless post .....

What, above and beyond the existing Walrus mod, does this actually bring to the game that would entail someone else spending their precious time importing/creating it ?

Perhaps you should ask yourself these questions before posting in future ...

A Korean war biplane but not a Polikarpov U-2/Po-2... For connoisseurs of C&C and search and rescue missions...
"Lieutenant Cane, the Sea Otter pilot, flew towards the scene of the ditching in poor visibility and made radio contact with two Corsairs circling protectively above the downed pilot in his dinghy...
Arriving at the scene, Cane saw that a 30-knot wind was lashing the sea into white foam, with choppy waves at least six feet high...
Taxiing up to the dinghy, Cane and O’Nion were warmly greeted by Lieutenant Wendell R. Muncie USN, who confessed to a feeling of awe as what appeared to be a Wright biplane threw itself on to the water..."
