Every summer, the Wings of Freedom tour comes to town, this is the B-24 flying over my house. They usually also bring B-25, B-17, and P-51! You cant mistake the sound of these old aircraft when they are up and flying around, awesome sounding, I cant imagine what it sounded like when an entire squadron flew over!

Is it amphibious or is the pilot just holding it in a hover with the belly in the water? It looks to me like an air stair door is deployed into the water.

It is amphibious; this is the C-113 Labrador used by the RCAF. From Wiki:
CH-113 Labrador landing on "The Clapper", a sea stack off the tip of Bell Island in Newfoundland
The Labrador was fitted with a watertight hull for marine landings, a 5,000 kilogram cargo hook and an external rescue hoist mounted over the right front door. It featured a 1,110 kilometer flying range, emergency medical equipment and an 18-person passenger capacity.
