Nope, as long as you'll be happy with a gay red headed Irishman you'll get your wish  K2    "Does this make my Hien look big? I love my Ha-40's & teh Swallow" |

You know....I think I'm with Andy on this one.
Dornier CD-2 amphib (though I'd probably go with a different registration than he wants  )Of course, that's only because the rich uncle won't get me one of these: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi...r_Do_24_ATT_vl_2.jpg |

Nice choice Skarden. Do they do one with floats?

Well if we are looking at the million buck range then I'm going for a P-40 or a Jug. I'd love an Emil but think they cost more.

Sorry FSM, my imaginary billionaire cousin specified no warbirds - he thinks we'd break them... |

Man, the market seems cornered on the amphibians here...
 The Be-103 looks promising, I don't really care for the parasols with all those struts on some other amphibians, but I do like the fact the Seastar is 50mph faster. Soo hard to choose... If your into bug-eyed biplane goodness, an AN-2 with a decadent Western interior upgrade would be awesome...  In a welcome move, the Beaver is back in production and would be a dream come true for many.  Ooops, wrong kind of Beaver.  Good hunting, Cajun76  Magnum-PC.comCheck it, bleed. Bro... was ON! Didn't trip. But the folks was freakin', Man. Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bone, Homes. So Blood hammered out and jammed jet ship. Tightened that bad sucker inside the runway like a mother.

Ooooh nice, Cajun.
 I hadn't seen the Beriev Be-103 before. Looks interesting. The AN-2 and Beaver have their good points too, though neither would look as pretty parked on your lawn/duckpond. Edit-------- Just seen this: Beriev BE-103 plane makes emergency landing in Biscayne Bay |

Dornier is no more   |

Oh dear, you're right. I hadn't realised  The Be-103 would probably do as a substitute, though I'm not sure if it has the range I'm after. Still, stopping to refuel shouldn't be that difficult. Otherwise it will have to be a floatplane anphibian, by the looks of it, though none of them have the looks. |

Well, I've had a chance to catch several lectures about seaplanes by Dornier's former head of design.
The Seastar generally is a 25yr old design. It has superior handling-characteristics and performance-data over any modern similar-sized amphibian, though. If it had to be floats (bad choice for handling blue-water ops, though), I'd be in for the DHC-2...can't do anything wrong with this choice  |

 Isn't there a division of Dornier still active?http://www.flightglobal.com/ar...-seastar-launch.html Good hunting, Cajun76 Magnum-PC.comCheck it, bleed. Bro... was ON! Didn't trip.
