Watch along as one of Paspaley Aviation's Turbine Grumman Mallards lands and takes off on the beautiful blue Kimberley Water of Northern Western Australia.
Had to smile on the take off. Grew up in the USVI when the VI Seaplane Shuttle was a set of Mallards. That sound of the plane going to full power at 7:40 was something I would hear all the time and miss.
I loved the video! I flew the G-73 & G73T in the USVI & BVI in 1986-1988. My dream has always been to fly my own Airboat to the Great Barrier Reef. I am building now.
Absolutely awesome aircraft.. I had the fortune to fly Chalks from Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini a few times, one flight with the Radial engines, and the again a couple of flights with the new turbo props.
So I just watched The Expendables and was thinking.. I wonder if anybody really flies Sea Planes (Floatplanes) around these days? You guys seem to be putting out the best content, but I wish you were getting more views. Keep up the good work.
I just found this channel and have watched a few now. Very enjoyable. I subscribed. Do you guys wash the plane after every salt water charter? Whatever you are doing to deal with the saltwater corrosion appears to be working and also given the condition of these planes relative to their age. Good job guys.
@@thatmallardguy7955 From the 1960's to the 1980's Texaco oil had 5 Mallards based at the Houma-Terrobone airport in Houma, La. That they used every day for offshore crew changes to and from oil rigs offshore La.
That Mallard Guy how big crew have to be? Two or more people’s? 🤔 Yours planes are for commercial service so in my opinion it’s understood that they are certified for MC operations. But what about others? Or is it just not easy to handle with that bird by one pilot? 🤔
