Costs of airplane ownership vary widely from owner to owner. This video takes an average of the various expenses from existing owners and boils them down to simple to digest numbers. Your ownership experiences will be unique.
“It’s a flying dump truck” “it’s a 7500lb antique that you store in a pond” after watching more serious videos this humor was on point.
What were those lyrics again? "She had dumps like a Goose... Grumman Goose."
If you want an April Fools suggestion, try the Grumman Goose’s long lost brother: The Spruce Goose. I think you’d do it y right.
I was thinking about a joke video on April fools. Spruce Goose is a good idea
You mention averaging your data from a small number of data points in this goose video. Certainly that problem would be worse for a spruce goose.
What about the Grumman Goose's little sister, the Grumman Gosling? Oh wait, that wouldn't be a joke. It's a real thing.
I wanted to fly one ever since "The tales of the Goldmonkey"! I was a real young professional pilot back then!
I saw him for the first time in the movie Commando and in an episode of Miami Vice, I loved him right away
Flew on these as a kid between Prince Rupert and The Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) in British Columbia in the late 1970s.
Being 8-9 years old, I always ran to be the first on board. As there was only one pilot, it meant the co-pilot seat was up for grabs! 😎
Thanks for crushing my dreams. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid.
Freshwater Air out of DLG operates 2 of these bad boys. They shuttle hunters/anglers/and rafters for DIY trips and are an air taxi service/cargo carrier for some of the fishing lodges around the area.
I got to fly on both of them a couple years ago! I traded some work loading them full of alcohol and groceries in exchange for a ride in the copilot seat.
3 of them are operating commercially at CYZT, and are a blast to ride on. Utilizing runways, the Pacific Ocean and lakes.
Would love to see you do a cost to own on a Grumman Albatross
Thanks for this video. You've really put me in my place... I was considering selling my house and buying one and turning it into a flying houseboat. I'm not sure what "annual" is or if I'd need it, but I'd never be able to afford it. I wouldn't be doing a hangar though, cuz I'd be mooring at marinas and occasionally flying to the next lake... But at that fuel consumption, I'd probably have to hire out to charter flights just to "move house".
Hmm, maybe I could give it a Canadair CL-215 paint job and start up a charter flight company called Higher for Hire...

NAH!
Annual is a once per year mandatory inspection. Good luck with your business venture 😉
Love these videos and this aircraft as well. Would you consider doing some videos on a few other vintage aircraft such as the Tiger Moth, Harvard, Stearman, Chipmunk?
I know of someone locally who regularly flies a Mallard, I hear first and then see it about 5 timers per year over my area alone. Goose used to be one of the few ways to fly from mainland NW Canada to the Queen Charlotte Islands. (now: Haida Gwaii) In 1979 that's how we got to Graham island from Prince Rupert. I loved every second. A few years later was a TV show I fell in love with: Tales of the Gold Monkey. Given their age, there is no doubt it would be a serious problem for any normal enthusiast.
There used to be a widgeon available for multi engine seaplane ratings in Florida. It was $500/hr. I always wanted to give it a go! I wonder if it is still there?
Also, it's the plane from Disney's TaleSpin
My dream is a large seaplane in "Flying Yacht" configuration. Ideally any of the Grumans or a Catalina.
I always wanted a DC-3. Wonder how those numbers stack up?
Try hu-16 albatross
I filmed an interview the the president of aopa who has one mid restoration in his hangar, way too cool
great videos for someone who is dreaming of buying an airplane some day!
Can you do a video on the Diamond DA20 (and maybe its variants, -A1, -C1, -100)
Should do the Aviat husk against the X Cub.
My father flew the Grumman Albatross in the United States Coast Guard until his retirement in 1975.
You should do the PBY Catalina
I'm telling you, this channel is going to explode, give it a couple weeks for the YB algorithm to kick in.
Who doesn't want to buy a Grumman goose! You should do a DC-3 in the same style.
i'd love to see one on the grumman albatross
This is great. Could you do a weidgeon next because there are slightly more flying
Love the videos great content
thank you! It´s a lovely plane... also love the Albatros!!
Can you add a warbird? Like p-51
Just buy a early mig jet, i bet its cheaper to operate
Please do a DHC Beaver!!
This channel is fantastic.
Watching expendables made me want one so fuckin bad
I'm very curious, where did you find that insurance quote? If you actually called a broker and asked "hi I'm curious how much it'd be to insure a Goose", I hope you have a recording of the call because I wanna hear their reaction.
I did get a quote for this one but I submitted it online. Missed the reaction. Dang
@@CompleteWalkaround It's never too late....
hey mate, not sure if you read the comments but this planes bigger brother, the Albatros, has just gone back into production in Australia!
Hey Mate, read every one. That's great news! Thanks for letting me know
Yes and turbine-powered IIRC which is awesome and solves a lot of the issues with the Goose (but not the costs haha).
the most Beautiful plane ever made
I never knew I wanted one of these, or even what they were, until I clicked on this video...
Would love to see a video on the Gweduck or the Widgeon!
I like the goose, but I love the Widgeon so much more.
I just came here to find out how much sullivan was paying to operate one
what about one on the albatross
Albatross added to the list, Thanks
Love the looks of flying boats it looks adorable to me but I prefer the "uglier" catalina
Bravo .perfect thenks
To hell with the cost! I wanna live like Baloo and bum around uninhabited tropical islands!
You'll win it in a minute when you spin it spin it spin it!
Would it be a mortal sin to put turbo props on the goose?😊
Such a cool plane with such character.👍
Now do a DC 3
Could you do Grumman albatross hu-52 next?
I never subscribe or comment when asked to. But i do for a video like this!! 😁
I really want a Goose one day, but I think a Widgeon would cheaper to own
Would this be a similar costs for a Mallard Grumman
Got a free ride in one once. So loud when it touches the water.
i always wanted a young very good looking girlfriend but the numbers don't add up either....but bought her anyways
Would you be able to do a video on the Grumman Tiger?
What’s a cheaper option than this goose?
Grumman Albatross
hey what about Cessna 195 and Piper J3 Cub ?
He keeps referring to the quest Kodiak assessment grand care Van but if we're talking about somebody that wants to move stuff sure it would be a lot more practical to have a cat grand caravan or a Kodiak but at the same time a Kodiak brand new is 2.5 million dollars basedollars base not even including the floats and an older model Kodiak is still in the range of like 2 million on floats so we're talking at 1.5 million dollar price difference easy
It's true. Commercial operators will pretty well always lease a caravan or Kodiak over buying. So purchase price isn't as huge an issue. If you are operating commercially, and take dispatch rate into consideration, the goose becomes very expensive, since you'd need half a dozen to match the dispatch of a new Kodiak :) Anyway, It's true that the goose is cheaper to buy and operate then those modern competitors. But truth be told, they do out perform the goose and they ready to work most days while our friend the goose is waiting for replacement parts to be fabricated from scratch. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I want to have it
How did you get the data? Wild...
I think your insurance estimates are crazy LOW ! Is that for liability only insurance with no hull loss ?
Cannot wait to see' cost to own a F22
If you're a US Tax Payer you already own a whole pile!
I have one in gta lol
Funny plane to play with friends
is it a PBY catalina?
The short endurance/range of these things is shocking for what it is. it was literally designed to fly people from new york city to upstate new york, and thats it.
These will fly for about 2.5 hours. In a cessna 152 you can easily stay aloft for 4. Some as long as 8 with larger tanks and careful management ( but you're going to be very tired). So this giant radial plane designed for 1930s millionares having the legs basically of an ultralight is shocking to me. You look at it and it brings to mind giant '30s seaplanes with endurance measured in days, not hours.
There is no doubt that if you have one of these you're what we call in the buisiness "F**ing cool". Like having a dodge viper when a BMW M5 would be just as fast and more practical. But nobody marries a wife becuase they are practical and easy to wipe down.
Cost to own of a Dash 8-100?
That’s an expensive damn plane
TLDR: So you wanna buy a Grumman Goose?
Yeah, good luck with that.
Duck Tales - woo hoo!!!
Tailspin not Duck Tails
Yeah she's expensive and costly, but so's a Ferrari and people still dream of those.
Compare it to the cost of running a yacht and then realize the goose can fucking fly!
The solution, obviously, is to build your own Conwing L-16
You can win it in a minute if you spin it spin it spin it
Its still less expensive than building a home in CO😂😂
The performance is less than amazing to say the least. There is a better way...
Hmmm, not a gazillionaire... will pass.
How does the Goose compare to the Gweduck? ruclips.net/video/yeJ3kqHevS8/видео.html
I can’t be trusted with this information.
