Free Pictures of Float Planes

These planes play an important role where there are no airports, in warfare, and in research. In the early years, they were essential pieces of the airline industry, working for decades before airport infrastructure could be financed and built. Several were taken at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport.
