Why is no one commenting on how badass this pilot is to do a pivot and line up perfectly so passengers can get out on the sandy beach?

Я сделал комплимент пилоту за классную парковку)

[@tightstrapped1563]

Just another day at the office.....

[@okrajoe]

How could anyone not love the Grumman Goose!

[@trollking6111]

Wow, that plane is so cool. I hope to one day fly on one.

[@lecolintube]

I’m always amazed at the forces the hull of seaplanes have to endure. 🤯 I can only imagine what goes through a seaplanes pilots mind the first time they land on water at that speed.

[@salvadorruizdiaz6667]

Esto avión me encanta con enorme Motor y además de agua

[@drlong08]

A tribute to the Goose. Main touchdown on hull and it took quite some time for the side pylons to contact the water.

[@marisagomes5185]

Nunca tinha visto um táxi aero muito bonito obrigado por essas lindas imagens e boa estada para quem foi para estas maravilhosas ilhas

[@Starhartdeer]

Holy shit! I gushed in amazement when the pilot whipped the door right onto the shore! So cool!

[@speedmachine69]

Beautifully flown......

[@PeterNGloor]

Nice video. I missed my only chance to fly on a Goose due to iffy weather at the destination (rainy West Coast BC). Coming from Goose-less Europe, that is.

[@marcusbruzzo]

this is absolutely gorgeous

[@philw9436]

thank you so much 😄 .. this is just about the perfect G - 21A Goose video .. (lots of love for the Goose) ! 🙌 .. respect , from the UK // )))

[@johnkamm386]

Wow......just awesome

[@MrAlubenco]

Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@sivayamsiva9343]

Beautiful river view from plane, thanks for sharing wonderful video congratulations 👌👌👌

[@scottfw7169]

For the pilot, merely another day at work; for me, the wonder of amphibious aviation. Gotta say, though, you don't find many offices with that kind of view!

[@MarioMario-fo8vc]

Это просто эротика!

[@usedcarsokinawa]

I love the bank he preforms once he leaves the water

[@bluarcher5941]

yep...not his first rodeo, I expect. Very nice job.

[@snoopy7647]

They needed to roll in full right aileron and pull fully back (up) on the elevator, the start of their takeoff run. See how hard over the left wing is and the how the left float (outrigger) is buried during the first few seconds of the run? They did not counter all of the torque from both of the fully revved engines. At the 3:50 minute mark, someone corrected it but it could have been a lot worse. Just saying...

[@TheBlackstag1]

So awesome it's great to see and it purrs it's mint

[@drlong08]

As someone that has pursued a pilot's license I would love to have an RV version of the GG. Okay, maybe outfitted with turboprops vs. radials but still it would be cool! Now to figure out how to hook up the toad.....amphicar maybe?

[@docjeffry]

Lovely!

[@philfreeman5567]

So cool

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

I love it 🥰

[@Mofoindustries]

That short takeoff scared the crap out of me

[@mediocreman2]

Long take offs are the ones to be worried about.

[@floppyweiner84gaming98]

Pilot is a badass

[@pilotmiami1]

bravo

[@lebaillidessavoies3889]

when i see this plane i cannot help thinking about the number of hours of maintenance to do every year on it to keep it flying.....

[@bluarcher5941]

true...and Jimmy Buffet owned and flew an Albatross for quite a while...you can imagine the upkeep costs : )

[@series5532]

Why? i want one so i just want to know

[@omieyouknowme]

1 hour flight time can be 10 hours maintenance on planes

[@kiddercreekdesigns8161]

Looks like a lot of fun :-)

[@skipthisway]

Yes it was :)

[@puch6535]

Парковка проста класс!

[@andresitobravovallejo6194]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@JustJohn505]

man what i wouldn't give to become a seaplane bush pilot! sucks that Alaska is so far away and its to cold for someone who was raised on the Caribbean

[@raymondclark1785]

Chalks used to fly Goose in Caribbean before they switched to Mallards. I got Goosed to Bimmi once in 1964

[@garethbest2355]

Check out the fish jumping in front of the plane at around 2:48

[@Alaskaduckhuntr]

Is Jerry flying that plane

[@lukevanderburg2133]

Looks like it! here is a similar trip with Jerry. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ukiH6sm9Cdr5I

[@yarogrigoriev1609]

Do they make em 2x that size?

[@fastfox23]

Yes, the Catalina

[@davemarion7652]

This Goose is not a "1946" model; there is no such thing. The last one ever built by Grumman rolled off the production line in Sept. 1945. It was serial number B-145 and it was last registered in Canada as C-FUMG. This Goose, N22932, is serial no. B-139 (6th from last) and it was built in Aug. 1945. It is probably only its civilian airworthiness certification as a model G-21A that dates back to 1946, but it was originally built as a US Navy model JRF-5, Bu. no. 87745.

Với kỹ thuật hiện đại : có thể gấp pháo khi máy bay đã cất cánh khi bay trên không: khi đáp xuống hồ để chạy : có thể chế cách quạt phía sau như tầu đệm khí có vẻ nhanh và hiện đại hơn khi cất cách thì loại cách quạt này cũng phải xếp lại được không thịt phải bọc nhìn phía trước cánh quạt giảm lực cản không khí cho máy bay khi bay trên không :. Vì là máy bay dân dụng chỉ cận tiện ích chứ đâu cần đối phó tắc chiến.,.

اسمعني يااخي بالمخابرات السعودية،قال إبن القيم ؛"لا بد لقلب الإنسان من ثلاثة سفلى وثلاثة عليا أما السفلى فرنسا تزين ونفس تحدث وعدو يوسوس وثلاثة عليا علم يبين وعقل يرشد و إله يعبد،فالحاكم الذي لم يرشده عقله إلى عبادة الهه كما يعبده خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك سلمان بن عبدالعزيز آل سعود حفظه الله وايده ووفقه إلى ما فيه خير الإسلام وأهله،من نشر التوحيد واستىصال الشرك والبدع والخزعبلات الحضارة الكاذبة من ديمقراطية وأحزاب سياسية...الخ فهذا لايعذر بجهله لأنه استولى عليه الثلاثة السفلى؛زينة الدنيا ونفسه الامارة بالسوء وعدوه الذي يوسوس له جعلوه خليفا للشيعة والفاتيكان وعدوا للامارات وتركيا والسعودية ،ولا تحسبوني خاىنا إنما أنا بصدد تأديب سفاء لأنهم ليس لديهم غيري يخرجهم مما ورطهم فيه،ورطوني واجبروني على مساعدتهم من دون رضاي ،ها أنا ذا اذيقهم من كأس السم الذي سقونيه

So cool
