The Seagull Curtiss Model 18 was part of the Curtiss Models F series of pre WWI and post WWI flying boats. Widely produced, Model Fs saw service with the&nbsp;United States Navy&nbsp;under the designations&nbsp;C-2&nbsp;through&nbsp;C-5, later reclassified to&nbsp;AB-2&nbsp;through&nbsp;AB-5.  Model Fs built from 1918 featured a revised, unequal-span wing that incorporated the ailerons into the upper wing and sponsons on the sides of the hull to improve the aircraft&#8217;s handling in water. These were known as the&nbsp;Model MF&nbsp;(for Modernised-F), and years later as the&nbsp;Seagull&nbsp;in the postwar civil market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/flymall.org\/planes\/\">&nbsp;aviation section of the Flymall<\/a>&nbsp;is full of aviation news, training info, and much more for the aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air show season is always just around the corner.&nbsp; Want to travel to air shows in your own aircraft?&nbsp; Visit<a href=\"https:\/\/flymall.org\/magento\/index.php\/used-aircraft.html\">&nbsp;our used aircraft page<\/a>&nbsp;on the Flymall to view our inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car\/Motorcycle Show News<\/strong>:&nbsp; &nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/flymall.org\/laytonsville\/\">Laytonsville Cruise In<\/a>&nbsp;is the place to be on a Friday night in Montgomery County.&nbsp; The Laytonsville Cruise In was started by Harry in 2010.
