Grumman Goose

It was soon adopted by the US Navy and Coast Guard, and during World War II it served with United States forces and the RCAF in transport, reconnaissance, rescue and training roles, and was used by the RAF for air-sea rescue duties. It was whilst serving with the RAF that it received the name "Goose".

Returning to civilian service after the war, the Goose found use from the wilderness of Alaska to the sunny climes of Catalina.

The plane from the 80's TV show "Tales of the Gold Monkey".
