Checking out the Grumman Mallard

[@amenhotepavoskin1307]

A great man is lovingly talking about a great plane. I know that look, seen it in many aviation zealots. Total respect.

Would have liked to see how the boarding door works on this aircraft. Beautiful airplane.

I love this plane. I flew it around the world in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and wrote an 87-page short story of action, adventure, and romance to go along with it (and that story had two sequels). I hope to see this in the new MSFS!

In Australia there is a company called Pearl Aviation that have 3 Mallards that are still in commercial operation they have been converted to turbo props I have had to pleasure of flying in Them a few times such a beautiful plane

[@Agwings1960]

Can't believe Grumman only built 59 Mallards, such a grand aircraft.

[@grantsmythe8625]

That's a fine looking piece of engineering.

Chalks Airline used the Mallard . They went turboprop and had a good record from Miami to the Bahamas till one day a wing came off and it went down , no survivors . it was a wing spar failure , I think it was a maint check issue .

[@davem5333]

The Chalk's tragedy was the result of long term deficient maintenance. Wing issues weren't properly addressed.

[@michaelbooher339]

Grummans don’t break. It was a maintenance issue.

[@wangfury]

Grumman actually designed and built the Goose before the Widgeon.

[@mysteryY2K]

i thought the Grumman Goose didn't have water rudders either?

[@decadantdog4444]

Do sea planes use anchors?

[@peterstickney7608]

Yes. yes, they do.
