Jerry's a great guy. The Ball brothers have been in Dillingham since aviation started there. We used a Goose they had in the 70's to build our lodge.

Excellent video of the Awesome Grumman Goose coming to get you . went on a fishing trip out of Dillingham Alaska with my father about 10 years ago on the Nuyakuk river, what a trip to land in the water sitting in the belly of a pla
ne. Simply the most brilliant trip I ever took...thanks Dad!! Awesome memories!!

@jtyrey Yep I spotted that in the last moment, fantastic experience anyways. I'm learning how to virtually fly one in the simulator, these videos help a lot.

@pegati1 He did a great job picking us up. We were at the wrong takeout spot and he had to improvise to get us.
Not to mention the poor weather that delayed our pickup.

@squonkdh I have been on 18 trips to Alaska, but this trip is still one of my favorites. Something about having that float/seaplane drop you off and not seeing anybody for a week that is a big turn on. Good fishing doesn't hurt either.

Did you have the side window open while taping?

@GekkoKamen Yeah, I think he closed it while we were gaining elevation. It was pretty humid.

good video, but its not a float plane, its a sea plane because it doesnt have floats attached to it ;) other than that, thanks.

@iKloveKtoast I also see that they have started to make new ones now. Super Goose. And they did list it as a Seaplane.
