A visitor from - posted Sun April 29, 2012: I know that the plane is meant to land on the water.. its my first to view such picture as this in this website. I usually view big commercial airlines. But this one really caught my attention. I just hope that jumbo jet had an option to land on the water for emergency purposes. Great shot!
A visitor from - posted Fri August 7, 2009: Lovely bird!! The closest I ever came to that experience was numerous water TOs and landings in Antilles Airboat's Grumman Geese and Mallards back in the '80s.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri August 7, 2009: Love this aircraft. This one now belongs to Kermit Weekes at Fantasy of Flight in Florida, I believe. Its sister ship is 'Beachcomber' and is on display at Solent Sky in Southampton, UK. I volunteer there occasionally and it's well worth a visit. The cabin is fully accessible and flight deck tours are free!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri August 7, 2009: I mourn the fact that we will never see the likes of Islander, Beachcomber or Southern Cross ever again. Thank you for sharing your lovely photo.
