Jet Seaplanes? Sounds kind of neat. Anybody know anything more about
these?


Over the weekend I watched a LOT of float plane traffic at the Victoria
Harbour (for some pics, one outfit is http://www.harbour-air.com/). They
had everything from Cessnas on amphibs to Beavers and Twin Otters. It
must be a booming business -- at one point the line of arrivals on
downwind looked like an international airport. The twin Otter in the
lead had to circle while a Beaver departed and then had to go around
when one of the little ferries darted into the touchdown zone.

If there's anything bigger than a Twin Otter I'm surprised they don't have
any!
