Surely that is too good looking to be French. It has not even been hit very lightly with the ugly stick.

That is a sweet little airplane.

Be 103 a new type to me even if they have been flying for the last 20+ years!

I think it is the 2003 EAA show at Oshkosh WI. but I am not positive of that. I found the photo on a couple of sites but no real information about it. But it does have a Russian Registration number on it.
But I also found this additional picture of the same A/C in what looks to be the same locations that was taken on July 31st 2003 at the Oshkosh - Brennand Seaplane Base here

Must be noisy in the cabin

I suspected the location must in the U.S. by the way the people were dressed and because of the Cessnas on the water.
Thanks for the info and the 2nd pic.

And yet it's still ugly! I have a real soft spot for flying boats and floatplanes and have seldom seen one that wasn't attractive to look at...I guess the YC-125C is the exception that proves the rule.

What happens when an An-2 and Ju-52 floatplane like each other very much?...............

I find it weirdly attractive ..... like some Soviet monstrosity that looks like it could never defy gravity........
