    It’s definitely a Cessna 185. It has the fat dorsal fin, whereas the 180 has a skinny one.

    I’ve heard that of all those who use amphib’s, there are those who have forgot to move the wheels and those who will.

    It’d be a 206. It’s got later wingtips than a 180, and has got struts so it’s not a 210. It looks bigger than a 182 and I can’t remember seeing that front on one. As a best guess, I’d say fairly late 206. “I think the title is wrong, yes it’s bad and it’s a seaplane, but that’s certainly no landing. A ‘watering’ maybe, or even a ‘aquatic earthing’, but not a landing…

    Im not an expert at Cessnas, but it reminds me of a 206. If I could zoom in and play it frame by frame maybe then I could tell….mabye

    Looks more like a 182 based on the size and float configuration.

    Nope. Most 210’s have a fully cantilevered wing & retractable gear. I’ve never seen a 210 modded for floats. As well, they do not have the air intake below the spinner on the lower cowl (nor does the 206 and 207 if memory serves). Been a while.
