Yep.  Paul Breed, who worked as an aviation mechanic in Alaska in his
younger days, once said that 80% of the maintenance load on salt-water
floatplanes was corrosion issues.  For a vehicle designed for it, yeah,
it's feasible.  But the cost is high, and best avoided if possible.

Preferred transport for Salt was Flying boats ( British mostly, some German ) during the Berlin Blockade.
