Beriev Be-200
Crazy lookin plane...
Four retractable water scoops, two forward and two aft of the fuselage step can be used to scoop a total of 12 tonnes of water in 14 seconds
it can scoop water while skimming the water surface at 90-95% of takeoff speed...
I would of thought this plane was a recently new model if I hadn't looked it up... hard to believe the first prototype was made in 1998 I live in California n its too bad I haven't seen these putting out mountain fires

and the wiki article on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriev_Be-200 as I was personally looking forward to seeing those utilitary crafts painted vivid colors, yellow, orange, firemen style

Uhmmm. Forget the holding water stuff. Why can't it hold 250 passengers on open ocean flights? I'd feel a lot better on my trips over ocean if I knew the plane could land on water.
