Flying a Grumman Goose... in Europe...soon!?

[ehusmann]

A Grumman Goose operating passenger flights in Europe, in 2014. Possible? Well, according to European Coastel Airlines of Croatia it will be. According to their website they will be operating the DHC-6 Twotter (on floats!) and Grumman G21 Goose on flights to islands in Croatia soon.... Let's wait and see, would be an awesome ride for sure!

According to their website they will start operating in May this year.

De eerste plannen van ECA waren met de Grummans, maar het papierwerk om in Kroatie te mogen vliegen heeft ze bijna 10 jaar gekost, en inmiddels zijn de uur prijzen van een Twin Otter op floats wel erg gedaald. Dus lijkt het er op dat er alleen met Twin Otters gevlogen zal worden.
