  • In this aviation documentary we talk about one of the best seaplanes ever built - Grumman G-21 Goose! This famous seaplane started as luxury seaplane or flying yacht for wall street millionaires, but then found himself in military being one of the best World War 2 Bomber seaplanes. Grumman did many amazing planes, but in this video we focus on the legendary G-21 Goose.

    I’m currently working on my commercial pilot license. I’ve been researching different planes I’m so happy I found your channel.

    Great Video! One Of My Favorite Planes. I'd Give Anything To See One, Even In A Museum. Thank You.

    Many of those interior pictures are the larger G-73 Mallard. You've even included a cockpit picture of the HK-1 "Spruce Goose"; very much larger than a Grumman!

    Thank you for featuring this wonderful old aircraft. I flew in one as a passenger back on the eighties and have fond memories as to how smooth the flight was. It was from my home in Auckland out to Great Barrier Island. The operators, Sea Bee Air, are no longer in business although the island can still be reached by launch or conventional aircraft. Neither can match the novity of going by Goose and experiencing history first hand.. In case anyone is wondering, I live in New Zealand.

      Thank you so much for the kind words! Amazing to hear you had a chance to fly it, you are so lucky! There are still a few geese in operation, but Im not sure if I will ever be able to fly it, even as passenger.
