amphibians, (not sure of type)
Almost certainly the CL415.

Extremely sturdy and very docile planes they are. They can manoeuver at 70-75kts without stalling.

A few of their piston-engined predecessors (the 215) used to be based at the airport I live within spitting distance of (PSR/LIBP) and I've had the opportunity to spend a quite enjoyable afternoon getting a tour of one of these as it was being overhauled.
