Very nice video ! I particularly liked US-2 from Japan,it had really short take off ! :O

I'm a big fan of the built-for water-bomber craft like the Bombadier CL-415 and the Beriev Be-200. Both are capable of scooping and returning to the fire site....excellent turn-around. I think the Beriev is awesome to watch in action. I was certainly impressed by the short takeoff of the Shinmaiwa.

the japanese seaplane was quite impressive. To take off at such a small distance is really beautiful to look at. I mean that almost looks as if they mounted some turbines on the bottom to help it get off but it really is just the simple propeller engines.

Shin-Maywa US-2 has 5th hidden engine blows wind on surface of wings. This keep air flows on wings stable and lift of those huge flaps amazingly effective at ultra-low-speed STOL situation.

That Be-200 could be the most versatile private jet ever, no need for runway. Just ditch your aircraft on purpose at any place you like.

@@christianfischer3267 Amazing STOL capability, because wing and part of the fuselage are in composite(= less weight) but above all is equipped with system that blows air at high velocity from the leading edge of the wing to the rear, thus immediately creating the laminar flow of low pressure/high velocity air. So after a few tens of meters it already has the necessary lift for take-off. It's the depression of the air above the wings that makes planes fly. Impressive.

US-2 has a record of rescue with wave height 3-4m, wind speed 16-18m.

The Russian fire fighting jet is my favorite. It could be converted to be the ultimate RV. Bring your fishing pole and throw a line in while sitting on a wing.

Colonel Gabby Gabreski (Air Ace) had two of these for rescue birds at Myrtle Beach back in the '50s. One was fixed up very nicely inside and often used to take his wife and mother-in-law (?) back and forth to DC. If there were open seats, the airmen on the base were welcome to ride along. I took the offer several times while on leave. Those were different times when the Air Force had a more liberal policy on the use of flying resources--historic times, I might add.

The russian BE - 200 can land and take off from both land and water..... now that's amazing. other seaplanes are also amazing in their own right. however i agree on one thing about scoping more water & delivering it very quick in case of forest fire, since time really is life in those situations... It did its intended job as recently as 2016 when 2 BE -200's were sent to Portugal after being asked for help in extinguishing forest fires and saving two settlements from the raging fire....

Not too early at all. That is the proper way to do it. As soon as you get aileron control you raise the wing tip floats which gets rid of drag as well the float struts fit flush into the underside of the wing thus creating more lift. Having flown the PBY the CL215 and the CL415 I liked flying the CL215 best.

I liked the Bombadier 415 formerly Canadir 415 of Canada, then the Russian Be-200 jet seaplane, then the older but sophisticated Grumman Goose. Honorable mention was the Canadir 215. :-)

Dennis Aston $16 million you can have one. Or 1billion RUB. Happens to be my favorite too. Still in production 12 built so far. I did a little internet searching after seeing that one. A jet flying boat. That’s straight badass.

Gotta admit, I love that the Russians made one in the late '90s! Not my favourite one of the whole bunch, but it's simply awesome that they're still doing this kind of thing - we need MORE of this kinda thing. I'd LOVE to take a transatlantic flight where you got onboard at the coast, flew to the other coast & disembarked on the shore. I'd pay through the nose for that type of airport experience!

For me: The Beriev BE-200 and the PBY Catalina. Also ( Its no in the video) The Hughest H-6 Hercules. Would you imagine that aircraft with new engines like turbo props (x4) or turbofans engines like RR-Trent (x2)?

I liked the Japanese plane.

Love the video, CL-215 in video was a turboprop conversion which basically makes it a CL-415 also in video. I am lucky to live on Vancouver island BC Canada where the last Martin Mars are, have seen them lining up to a lake nearby for fighting fires in early 2000's right over my house. Love it!

Love the short takeoff of the US-2, and I hope I'll get to see one up close someday. I don't know if any have been modified for scoop & drop forest fire fighting. For sheer majesty, the Martin Mars takes the cake - I remember going to Sproat Lake to see them when I was a kid, and Colson Air Tankers still have two, with one flying right now. Built 1944-45, and hard at work 75 years later. But for sheer ruggedness, longevity, utility, and flying characteristics for the job, the Canadair CL-215 & CL-415,( plus the turbine-coversion CL-215T, a.k.a. CL-245) takes the cake. I've watched them at work many times - they can cycle very quickly (at the Kelowna fire they were dropping, scooping and dropping in under 2 minutes). Being amphibs, they can also work off of runways, either concrete or gravel bush strips. They're a very durable and serviceable aircraft, used around the world, and with good reason.

Loved them all, but particularly the new pure-jet Beriev BE-300 and the Japanese 4-engine lookalike to my own super old Martin Marlin P5M. Of course, that old PBY Catalina will never be equalled as a romantic elegant old military workhorse. Please don't forget those PanAM flying boats, the PanAm Clippers made by Martin and Boeing and Consolidated, I think. And, last but not least, please look up the records of the plane which was supposed to follow my P5M for the Navy, the 4-jet Martin P6M Seamaster. I saw several at the Martin Baltimore plant in the mid-50's; it was an aviation jewel, yet had too many problems in test flights and was never mass-produced or delivered to the Navy. Ken Gold, old VP-45 P5M vet

Wonderful video - Thank You so much! The PBY Catalina & the Martin Mars are a close tie. Like an antique treat! I was surprised at the long takeoff distance for the BE200. Perhaps they were at gross weight & no headwind ??

Martin Mars - built next door in Baltimore. Great video.

7) The PBY is still actively flown around the world. No longer in production. 6) The CL214 is still flown around the world. No longer in production. 5) The Grumman Albatross fleet is grounded after the Chalk Air accident. None are flying anymore because Chalk bought up all the spare parts, spare aircraft and salvaged everything. The rest of the Grumman seaplane fleet is essentially grounded. 4) The CL415 is still in production, still being sold. 3) Martin Mars. Last two are for sale. Very effective at water bombing. Saved British Columbia forests for 60 years! 2) The Shinmaywa US-2 Hugely expensive because of its fifth engine, but can take off in 9 foot seas. No customers outside of the Japanese military. 1) The BE-200 has great potential. Can be configured for passengers, cargo or water bomber. It has 1 customer (China) outside of Russia. The D436 engines are not certified for use outside of Russia. They will spend the money for that process when a Western or European customer buys one. Costs the same as the CL415, which is a water bomber only.

@M Jeep Wrong ! It may take longer to get out of the water but you're not considering the actual payload it's picking up (which too can vary, hence takeoff time as well) and the travel speed to the site. Check out the wing sweep angle, although a jet, it is clearly optimised for low speed. And since it can safely land on water, you can bet it can fly slow enough to be accurate on delivery. Also, i guess you read the JD Powers reliability survey about it... or owned a few. What a pathetic comment...

This is apparently "currently flying top 7 seaplanes of the world". Still, Beriev Be-12 belongs on this list. If this was "all time" list, Dornier Do X, Dornier Do 24 and Boeing 314 Clipper obviously would be on the list.

The Canadair that was shown as number 7 is actually a Bombardier CL-415 with turbo-props under Spanish colours therefore a more recent version of the Canadair CL215 which was running with piston engines. The first to be capable of scooping water while flying (Beriev repeated the idea later).

BE-200 is loaded with tons of water (max capacity 12 tons) in the video. so it does take more time to take off compared to another empty seaplane.
