Have any of you guys heard of or seen this aircraft? Its any modern flying boat. It has a commuter configuration of 12 pax. It is one of the most beautiful aircraft I have seen.

What do you guys think about it? Looks like the perfect goose/mallard replacement for companies in Alaska until you look at the fact that its range is 50 miles with full load of pax. Sad, that it doesn't appear to be able to have a commercial role. Plus it has a steep list price of 6.2 million. It is the perfect enthusiast aircraft in my opinion its great to look at.
