floatplane is best kind of plane.

Mmmm...icon A5...

but thats only a two-seater, the G21 goose hosts 8, and a crate of booze.

oh, and a G21 goes for around the same amount of money

And in terms of maintenance and probably insurance, you'll save an ass tonne . The A5 is an aircraft someone who is somewhat loaded can own plus you won't need a multi-engine rating to fly it. 

and its probably also more fuel efficient than the solid block of steel with wings on it

flight at cruising speed with the goose: put the levers all the way forward, and keep them there.
