… it would be a Grumman Goose.
At the end of 2012, PenAir retired its Goose — The Spirit of Akutan II — which ended the commercial flying boat service in Alaska. Since 1977, PenAir’s Goose provided regular air service to the remote Aleutian community of Akutan, where the surf was too rough for the floats of more traditional seaplanes.
The Goose is a beautiful seaplane. With those twin 450 horsepower, Pratt & Whitney radial engines, you’d have no trouble getting your moose out.

Yes it would haul the entire moose, rack and all, but I’ll stick to a float plane…after all who could afford the gas for the ‘Goose’.

If one can afford a Goose, one can afford the gas to fly her. Until then, I have my Rover.
