With little better to do this evening than watch the water rising, yet
again, I watched th A Team film.
Some amusement and some good/bad/poor fx.
About 3/4 way through the film the team escape in a 4 engine prop driven
flying boat.
This didn't look like sfx to me.
If it is real, does anyone know what and where it is? My guess would be
Canada. Film was made 2010 so not that ancient.
Thanks.

I haven't seen the movie and I doubt it would be one of these, but here's
a really interesting one:

Never saw the film. When I was in Japan in the early 80's the JMSDF
had a flying boat
reputed to be made of plywood. (Japan does not have a navy, instead
they have the
Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, the JMSDF)

Did it resemble any of the pictures in this Wikipedia article?

I skimmed through the movie on you tube.
I didn't see a flying boat. Around the middle of the film I saw them
taking off in a C-130 Hercules cargo plane from an airfield.
Subsequently, the C-130 was shot down by missiles fired by a Drone.
Is that to which you are referring?
