	Seaplane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are amphibious flying boats and amphibious floatplanes, as well as some hybrid designs, e.g., floatplanes with retractable floats.
		Modern production seaplanes are largely amphibious and of a floatplane design, although the Seawind 300C, an amphibious flying boat, has begun the FAA certification process.
		Rescue organizations, such as coast guards, are among the largest modern operators of seaplanes due to their efficiency and their ability to both spot and rescue survivors.

	Tamiya America Item #61017 \| Nishikisuisen Rufe Kit - CO117
		Since the floatplanes might have to fight with enemy fighters in the air, they were required to be pure fighters comparing favourably with enemy fighters in performance.
		The Navy firmly believed that sufficiently armed floatplanes would be able to fight on equal terms with fighters considering that Type 95 Scout Seaplanes shot down Chinese fighters as successfully as did land based fighters at the early stage of the sino-Japanese incident.
		The Type 2 Floatplane Fighter was a well-timed superior plane to be used for the purposed of defending isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean and air bases under construction until the completion of the 15-Shi Floatplane Fighter which was then being manufactured by Kawanishi.

	Welcome to FLOATPLANE HIKING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The exhilaration of the floatplane take-off (or landing) is second to none.
		It's hard to describe the feeling of being left behind in the middle of nowhere, watching the floatplane rise from the water, skim the treetops and drift out of sight - knowing that there is no way out except with your backcountry skills and your own two feet.
		Floatplanes are definitely cheaper that helicopters and sure...choppers can land on the top of a mountain, but where's the challenge in that.

	Prosecutor: DOE 'gutted' county floatplane regulations 03-19-01
		Extending prohibition of floatplane access from county road ends and county parks and public freshwater shorelines to requiring a variance to access or moor floatplanes within 100 yards of those areas.
		Evans believes the county is in a strong position to argue its case since it could revert to previous, less strict floatplane regulations.
		Commercial and private floatplane pilots argued the county Planning Commission's recommendation -- which would limit floatplane access to commercial or public moorage marina facilities or private marinas -- was unreasonable.
