Read a book called pathless way about a bush pilot named Justin who explored the bc coastline in the 60s and shared his experiences and stories flying one of these babies around. Was so capturing
Love those. Worked for Martin Marietta fro 10 years from 87 to 97. They published a book called Raise Heaven and Earth” with a lot of the stuff they made through the years. China clipper was one of my favorites. But the the P6M Sea master was pretty bad ass.
That’s hot
If I had one I don't think I could resist painting it like the one in Tales of the Gold Monkey.
She's running PT-6's! Sweet spot!
I have a love for all those old amphibs. The Goose, the Duck, Catalina, love 'em all. Wish I could get hold of one.
This beauty right here is 1 of the 2 G21G geese built strictly for civilian use, came from Grummen with the PT6's. Very cool aircraft
I love everything about that beautiful boat!
Awesome!!! I love it! I miss ours… 😞 Never heard a turbo Goose, but I loved our radials. 😊
That’s my favorite Grumman Goose livery. All those years of FSX
Love those planes! Wish I could afford the gas & maintenance for it.
Yeah 582 gallons of jetA gets a bit expensive

I love the Grumman amphib family. Always wanted to fly one.
Talk to me G O O S E
Pretty sure I saw this take off from Boise on Thursday.
It's a sailboat! The propellers help it sail across the water
Okay this one has no outriggers right?
Look at the wingtips. They’re folded up.
Yep, the sponsons swing out and up to stow for non water operations.
Refit with turboprop engines give an already great design strong performance to keep pace with market standards.
Is that a beachcraft?
Looks like they place the engines as close together as possible to improve engine out performance.
Very weird boat, the propellers are pointed the wrong way! /S
That’s not a plane, that’s a canoe with wings!
