Antilles Seaplanes made its first appearance at Sun 'n Fun 2008 and the company says it hopes to be delivering newly-manufactured modern versions of the venerable Grumman Goose in the next year or two. The company has the type certificate for the aircraft and has been developing the manufacturing processes at its plant in Gibsonville, N.C. and the company says it's getting close to actually building aircraft.

  • More than once? That puts much doubt into the product for some people.

  • A Turbo Goose.

    OMG.

    Is it ok to be angry because I will never own one?

  • i'd prefer a turbo prop goose, but to me that thing looks so stupid. Guess i'll just have to dream about a piston powered goose :(

  • @blownglasslide I agree, real airplanes have round engines!

  • For those feeling sad the radials are gone... Well with a special order you CAN have it with a radial if you insist, but in this time and age and economy you might find your wallet liking the turboprop more :P

  • i worked there and worked on the aircrafts its a great thing these guys are trying to do

  • Jubiejones,

    The founder of Antilles Airboats and Antilles Seaplanes are two Different companies. The onwer and founder of Antilles Seaplanes is V.L. Manuel. If you go to Antilles Seaplanes web site and read the news section they have a article about how the company came to be, great read.

  • @blownglasslide I agree you cant beat a radial! the sound........oh the sound.... but really you cant argue with a turbine, safer, more powerful, lighter, longer TBO.

  • Are you familiar with the name Capt. Charles F. Blair - who used to own Antilles Airboats seaplane commuter service in the Virgin Islands?
