The last civilian version of the legendary Grumman Goose seaplanes was produced in 1939. After nearly 70 years, a new company, Antilles Seaplanes, is putting the design back into production with totally modern avionics and upgrades. The Super Goose is a 100% new plane based on the classic Goose body design. Supposedly, the company has received over 200 orders from over 80 countries, including one from Goose enthusiast Jimmy Buffet. Check out the pics and promotional video on the website. A-2 jackets and one eyed dog copilots sold seperately.

I wish I was filthy rich, so I could afford one of these. Who am I kidding, I always wish I was filthy rich.

Very cool !

Although "the Goose" looks kinda weird with those new modern engines.

Classic looking radial style engines are an option. Jimmy Buffet allegedly insisted on the radials for his plane even though the sleeker inline engines perform better.
