Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
When I say float plane everybody knows exactly what I’m talking about. It can be either straight floats or amphibian floats but they know whatConfiguration I’m talking about.
If I say seaplane it includes everything
To say hull type seaplane is just well just unruly !
If I say flying boat people wanna correct me that I should say amphibian if it’s a retractable. Others will tell me that flying boats include float plane because they float!
But if I say amphibian people assume that it’s a float plane !
So can someone give me 4 words.
A A float plane on str floats
B A float plane on amphibian floats
C A flying boat without wheels
D A flying boat with retractable wheels.
