Your Awesome, Dual Purposed Plane
This aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney and Wasp Junior engines. The Grumman G-21 Goose can take you to as far as Missouri in the United States, if you’re coming from Ontario, Canada. This legend of a plane has been around for over 80 years. You’d still be amazed about how its speed and range continue to be somehow at par with the performance of much younger, small prop planes. Should you be flying to a much farther fishing destination, it’s best for you to agree on a weight of load with the operator. This way, your charter can schedule the shortest route possible as part of your flight plan.

Background Information
Manufactured by Grumman Aerospace, the Grumman G-21 Goose was conceptualized and produced during the pre-World War II days. Its current operators include the United States Army and Air Forces, plus the Canadian Air Force and Royal Air Force. This plane is used for rescue and training among military operators, as trainees can be flown right into challenging bodies of water. Additionally, some of the Grumman G-21 Goose’s civilian owners currently see the plane as a flying yacht. Travelers can seamlessly fly on it and stay on the same aircraft since it can function as a boat upon landing.
