I'll bet landing is more impressive then taking off. Exactly how do they land water planes at an airport? Gene
Most float planes have retractable wheels in the floats and retractable rudders so they can lift the rudder to use the wheels to land on hard surfaces and lower the rudders and raise the wheels to land on water

Same thing on the other type of planes,( amphibieans (SP?) that where designed primarily to land and take off on water, they have wheels in the floats to land and or taxi on hard surfaces when needed
