Oooooh! I LIKE that idea!
Volkodav:
I can see a Typhoon, Tempest or Firebrand in that configuration, or how about a Wyvern or Skyraider?

One of the big problems I see with high-performance jet seaplanes is that they either have to lose their weapon-carrying capacity or their high-performance in order to be seaplanes.
A high-performance jet can't have floats hanging down from it & keep its performance but, if you have the floats fold/retract into the fuselage/wings you lose a lot of weapons-carrying capacity.
Of course, as a civilian rich-boys'-toy, the loss of weapons capacity doesn't matter. ;)

On the side, F2Y is said to be planned to be armed with 20mm cannons and FFARs- does anyone know where those weapons are supposed to be?
