  Amphibious aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While in the early days of aviation when good runways were not so common, flying boats and seaplanes were limited to water, the modern method is to include landing gear and make them amphibious.
Grumman Goose G21 Pen Air at Akutan AK Amphibian aircraft have their uses, not least as transport aircraft in remote areas, where there are few airstrips but plenty of lakes and rivers.
And they are more versatile than normal seaplanes and flying boats as they can be flown to a big airport or any suitable airfield to get service, or to just to be able to land or take-off when high winds makes the waves too big to handle.

 Airliners.net: Grumman G-21 Goose
The Goose began life in the pre WW2 days as Grumman's first design intended for civilian use, but most of the type's production ultimately was against military orders placed during WW2.
Grumman's already extensive experience in building fighters for the US Navy was reflected in the Goose's rugged construction, features of which included a braced tailplane and deep two step hull.
The arrival of WW2 saw the Goose (a name originally bestowed on the aircraft by Britain's Royal Air Force) enter military service with a number of allied air arms, the largest operator being the US Navy.

Maybe it's because the Goose is such a tough plane and goes all about the bush, but when people talk about it, they always relate a story about being lost or otherwise in danger in an exotic or remote location.
The Goose was a really fabulous aircraft on the sea, but I always felt that she was like a cow on ice on a runway, especially with heavy x-wind, with the very short distance between her wheels.
I was saying the Grumman Gooses that come here every year together and there are four (4), belong to some friends of mine Dan Vollum, Larry Tufel, and two of their buddies.

 AVSIM Commercial  Package Review
The centerpiece of the show was of course “Cutter’s Goose”, a red on white Grumman G21 Goose that Jake Cutter used to fly cargo and/or passengers based out the pre-world war II fictitious South Seas island of Boragora.
The real Grumman Goose was only manufactured between 1937 and 1945 with several doing duty during the war and later most serving as amphibious passenger carriers throughout North America.
The panel for the original Grumman Goose was not a complicated feature as it was designed to provide the necessary (minimum) functions required of the pilot during the golden age of aviation (1930s).

With its modern, mid-thirties amphibious design, the Grumman Goose could land on either a runway or on water - and do it in style.
Expressly built for the civilian market, the twin-engine Goose represented a departure, of sorts, for the Grumman aircraft company, which had established itself as a specialist in naval aviation for the U.S. Navy.
In fact, the Goose was the company's first commercial design - and on every count was considered a success.

My first visual experience of the Grumman Goose was at the little airport at Villa.
My first flying experience was in a Goose in St.Georges Grenada: a rowing boat took us out to the plane and the rest is history.
Then, like today, debates and arguments lingered as to whether or not this was the best place for "the airport", and in the very early 1950's, the decision was made to "move" the airport, and indeed the entire air transport system, over to Villa and to use sea-planes; the Grumman Goose being the popular
