The Aircraft department is pleased to announce that the Grumman G21A Goose is now available for FSX users. Special thanks to KenG for making this available to us (apparently retirement is treating Ken well).
A few notes on the airplane:
The Goose is a light
amphibian transport plane, originally made by Grumman in 1937. Originally envisioned as a
shuttle for Manhattan millionaires to cruise down to Miami for the weekend,
the Goose rapidly became the utility plane of choice for several small air
companies, as well as a primary rescue plane for the Coast Guard and other
agencies. Its amphibious nature, generous interior space, and rugged
construction (planes that land in the water have to be built incredibly tough)
enabled the Goose to go just about anywhere that a plane could conceivably
go.
Postwar, surplus Gooses found their way into
service with commercial operators worldwide, their unique amphibious
capability and rugged construction ensuring their popularity in the coming
decades.
Ken's Goose is a Grumman G21A Goose that is
painted in WestWind "old school" livery with the adaptation Sea Tours. The
airplane has a modernized cockpit including the installation of the standard
Garmin 500 GPS. N48550 spends its winter months in the Tahiti and its summer
months at Lake Tahoe.
