So, after a bit of wiki-trawling, I came across this. I don't think it'd be anywhere near as useful as a Navajo up here... but just look at this thing! (And it's ridiculously-soundtracked promo video)
Navajo + Boat = ???

A low-wing floating hull...I don't think I've seen that before.
Re: Navajo + Boat = ???
I am thinking it would b a bitch to dock that thing, made for ramp ops I guess. Cool plane thou.

I will bet that sucker would be murder on props in rough water.
The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Forget the plane in the video.
What was that large one at 1:39 landing in the background? shows up again at 1:51.
This thing would be pretty nice to go to my camp though.

Holy ground effect, Batman!
Crosswinds? Waterproof wings? The maintenance guys would love this thing.

It looks like just a little bit of pitching over waves or a swell and that thing becomes a submarine.

I think that thing in the back is this.
I'm going to knock this up a notch with my spice weasle. Bam!
