2021 marks 50 years since I got my first job as an A&P mechanic. That job was working on the first turbo powered Mallard.

Had to smile on the take off. Grew up in the USVI when the VI Seaplane Shuttle was a set of Mallards. That sound of the plane going to full power at 7:40 was something I would hear all the time and miss.

Absolutely stunning.. I can only imagine the corrosion challenges, especially on the gear.

So I just watched The Expendables and was thinking.. I wonder if anybody really flies Sea Planes (Floatplanes) around these days? You guys seem to be putting out the best content, but I wish you were getting more views. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely awesome aircraft.. I had the fortune to fly Chalks from Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini a few times, one flight with the Radial engines, and the again a couple of flights with the new turbo props.

I loved the video! I flew the G-73 & G73T in the USVI & BVI in 1986-1988. My dream has always been to fly my own Airboat to the Great Barrier Reef. I am building now.

I just found this channel and have watched a few now. Very enjoyable. I subscribed. Do you guys wash the plane after every salt water charter? Whatever you are doing to deal with the saltwater corrosion appears to be working and also given the condition of these planes relative to their age. Good job guys.

At the 6:00 mark, you can watch as the prop goes from feathered to producing thrust. Very cool. 🙂

Michał ours are only certified for multi crew ops
@jamichal874 жыл бұрын
That Mallard Guy how big crew have to be? Two or more people’s? 🤔 Yours planes are for commercial service so in my opinion it’s understood that they are certified for MC operations. But what about others? Or is it just not easy to handle with that bird by one pilot? 🤔
@thatmallardguy79554 жыл бұрын
Michał Only 2 crew. Ours are certified two crew as they are above 5700kg MTOW. The original mallard was a single pilot aircraft

@@thatmallardguy7955 From the 1960's to the 1980's Texaco oil had 5 Mallards based at the Houma-Terrobone airport in Houma, La. That they used every day for offshore crew changes to and from oil rigs offshore La.
