    Ok this has nothing to do with reef aquariums other than the water in the graphic, but hey it's Friday - I'll set it up this way... You wake up beach side, take off in you slick carbon fiber Flynano plane and skim down on your favorite reef spot. Back flip into the water and see how many Tang fish you can count and check in on that Giant Clam you saw last week. Fly back by noon for Lobster tacos and a couple Coco Locos. Take a nap. I'm in.

    Factory is in the same place where very secure bank of Ivan is :)

    Lack of real pictures, video and details is making me skeptical about this every coming out for real.

    That's why they only land in water - you don't want to ditch one of those overland!! That prop looks awefully close to the pilot's head!;D

    Other than that it looks awesome!

    I don't want to ditch one of those over water either! In fact, I don't want to ditch one of those period! :lol:

    This is crazy...awesome, but so...awesome? Lol. I don't know what to say. I like the idea. It's just so different than what we are used to, I guess. :)
