Luxury Seaplane Trips

[Doc]

FYI: JYC's PBY was AFU, IMHO. This is why, as DenisS said, "that they would stay on land when they could". No dummies. Falco never set foot on the thing if it was going to go off and fly- as far as I can recall.

Philippe croaked himself in an ultralight due to substantial hubris (something which was not hereditary, but seems to be prevelant in the offspring, nevertheless).

JMcRae once bubbled...
With a cruise speed of 190 MPH you could go anywhere and get there fast yet you would only be 200 ft above the ocean so you wouldn't need to worry about the bends
.

Going by anticipated payload (crew, fortunate passengers, fresh water system, luxury furnishing and entertainment systems, compressor, dive gear, etc,etc,etc,) it would appear that your service ceiling would be about 200 feet...with all fans working. Single engine service ceiling will be somewhat below sea level. All this assuming the aircraft can climb out of ground effect.......

Hey I didn't mean to offend anyone it was just an idea. Thanks for your imput and warm welcome. Im not springing an advertisement here I was just wondering if anyone would be interested. Just an idea I had. BTW it has with full fuel it has a cargo gross of close to 7K pounds and a range of 2200NM. I'm not sure but I think it would probably get a compressor, dive tanks, and a few accomodations off the water. Thanks

What exactly is the aircraft type.....what engines.....and is it readily available for purchase?
