    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!

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

    That's a fine looking piece of engineering.

    Grumman actually designed and built the Goose before the Widgeon.

    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 .

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

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

    Do sea planes use anchors?
