Small amphibious aircraft are popular in the most remote corners of the US and Canada. There they perform the functions of off-road vehicles. How else to get to remote places?

Why is the Republic RC-3 Seabee amphibian famous? Yes, at least because it is reliable and has a huge resource. This model was produced from 1946 to 1947, but is still operated by hundreds of owners. The plane is universal, it can take off both from water and from the ground.

The range of the model is more than 840 km, the maximum speed is 238 km/h. The cabin fits three people - you can take two friends and go on an adventure! And you will learn about other features of the Republic RC-3 Seabee model by watching the video.
