In the case in question, there was a fishing boat, with two
people and the PBY did in fact take-off directly toward the boat. I understand that this was a staged movie and it is possible that they did get a waiver [it is also possible they didn't]. But the video clearly shows the boat rocking on the bow wave, which does indicate that this was an actual take-off toward the boat. THAT operation is illegal, unsafe and unnecessary. In crowed harbor, there will often be boat traffic, some being canoes, small motor boats and most will be operated by untrained "captains." Don't confuse normal airport traffic near a runway with boat traffic on a lake or harbor.On a lake, a take-off or landing may come closer than 500 feet to a boat, but it should NEVER be aimed at that boat. -- James H.
