I just hope it comes with a life raft. I've got a feeling I'll be paddling more than flying. LOL

Awesome wings Jason. Let's hope it doesn't end up like this with me flying it.



My favorite seaplane from the movies!

Can you fly her? Sure! What about getting her down? That I can do! LOL!

So, if we shoot up the floats in the air, will it sink after landing?

Wonderful looking aircraft (like all the ROF aircraft).

If you shoot it, i guess there will be bullets holes in the float ---> it probably should sink!

Modern floats have foam in them and they remain buoyant even if punctured... but wwi floats were made out of wood and metal and were just hollow air filled construction. So they should be able to be holed and sink but if the initial release leaves that out I would be fine with it lol.

They should get splintered and fractured, so that on landing they break apart and the plane cartwheels into the water, throwing off pieces as it goes, with the pilot(s) being tossed out with ragdoll physics, and then you can frantically try and swim away before the oil and fuel on the water catches fire and burns you alive!!!!!!!!!1111111111111

I mean, seriously, how can 777 NOT put that level of detail in??????????????////////////
