Where did "109" come from?
Chalks' airlines (in name) in Miami, is one of the oldest airlines in the world. If flies or did fly Grumman Turbo-Mallards and Albatrosses. These large twin-engined aircraft were called amphibians, because they could not only land on water on a boat-like hull, but also had retractable wheels to allow landings and beachings on hard surfaced runways(some have even landed on snow/ice, making them tri-phibians). Float planes are those planes with only a boat hull like body or a pair of floats which only were designed for use on water. There are many operators in Alaska, Canada and in the Caribbean which use these airplanes because there is often no suitable terrain to build airports. It also allows them to go into areas far away from the normally explorable areas. Sea-planes were actually used as some of the first airliners, since runways were in short supply, and were also expensive to build. There have even been Jet powered seaplanes capable of possibly exceeding Mach 1, the Martin Seamaster. Sea and float planes are often slower than their wheeled counterparts because the weight and drag associated with building their seagoing ability into the aircraft, comes with many aerodynamic penalities. Another factor which adds to their cost and liability is the environment which they operate from. All planes have metal in them. Many metals found on aircraft, don't like water, especially sea water-they rust of corrode. This makes for an expensive maintenance bill! They however remain useful tools for ocean search and rescue, getting into remote areas and flying into beautiful, tiny deserted Caribbean islands

Yes, you can carry passengers in a seaplane. You can carry about 2-4 in passenger area.
Is there a height limit to be a pilot in the air force?
If you want to by a float plane, I recommend you that you get a anphibian.
