Not The First Flying Boat, But Almost Certainly The Coolest

$14,931 for anything that flies is a great deal! Ordinary Jet Ski's (PWC's) can be over $10,000 now.

The video seemed to be avoiding landings, and I was thinking that perhaps there was a nerve-wracking pitch forward on touchdown -- but it appears not -- the one landing shown went very smoothly. In the US, this might be in a grey area reg wise. With it clearly flying well out of ground effect, it would be considered subject to FAA regs, but it looks too heavy to be an ultralight.

The camera lens was pretty long, so distances would be compressed, but it made me squirm every time it looked close to people and jet skiers.

Very cool, in any case.
