In FLYING BOAT, a handful of pilots and mechanics are featured who have restored, fly, and maintain the last few airworthy examples of the flying boat, a magnificent aircraft from a long lost era of adventure and romance. The aircraft featured were restored and brought back to flying condition after being decommissioned and sitting in neglect for decades in the Tucson, AZ desert known as the Boneyard. These aviators share a camaraderie and reflect upon their experiences and aspirations as to why they fly them today. With the capabilities of landing and taking off on open ocean, land, and even snow and ice, these venerable machines inspire dreams and speak to fantasy.

Press Quotes
An Aspen filmmaker is taking to air, sea and land for a new documentary on a little-known piece of aviation history...
—Andrew Travers, Post Independent
'Flying Boat' will be Braun's feature debut... The Grumman Albatross went outof production in 1961, but its heyday was the 1930s, when its popularity coincided with the elegance and adventure of early aviation.
—Seaplane International
Given a prime parking spot beside the Seabirds Tent at the show, the Albatross will turn even more heads as it stars in an upcoming documentary, 'Flying Boat' by Aspen filmmaker Dirk Braun.
—Joni Fisher, General Aviation News
A must see film for Flying Boat fans!
