"In FLYING BOAT, a handful of pilots and mechanics are featured who have restored, flown, and maintained the last few airworthy examples of the flying boat, a magnificent aircraft from a long-lost era of adventure and romance. The aircraft featured were restored and brought back to flying condition after being decommissioned and sitting in neglect for decades in the Tucson, AZ desert known as the Boneyard. These aviators share a camaraderie and reflect upon their experiences and aspirations as to why they fly them today. With the capabilities of landing and taking off on the open ocean, land, and even snow and ice, these venerable machines inspire dreams and speak to fantasy." -- Container.
