A Grumman Goose...designed in the late '30s.
About 20+ still fly.
A friend has one, I've flown in it often.
Once we landed on a famous river in the Western U.S., we were surrounded by rocky cliffs that turned gold when the sun rose. Not a sound. Unbelievable.
Another time we landed in a lake which is the locale of a well known resort and pricey homes overlooking the shore. A wealthy (judging by the estate she came out of) attractive middle aged woman came out on her jet ski to ask if we were okay, I think she thought we ditched.
Quite a aircraft, and not a bad boat.
