Lifeboats, men in the water, etc. would be interesting for SAR missions.
The only problem is that in some cases float planes and flying boats were prohibited from landing on the open ocean, either due to regulations or due to rough sea conditions which would make it dangerous to land and difficult or impossible to take off again.
If we were to have flyable float plane/flying boat in the game, water textures would need to be modified to simulate different sea states or the effects of near misses from bombs. Currently, regardless of wind speed or weather conditions, ocean waves remain constant with swells of just 1-2 feet, and explosions or airplane crashes don't produce waves.
