folks Do not be concerned that the aircraft is being abused. It was specifically built to do what you see it doing. In US Fish and Wildlife Service this type of aircraft was used to deliver building materials to construct a cabin nearby, according to what I was told. The beach was used at that time. The worst thing that could happen is that the aircraft becomes stuck. We have what we call the "stuck kit" which includes a handy man jack, shovel, pieces of hard rubber, and a bow saw. This is used to jack up the stuck wheel and reinforce underneath. Sometimes we use obnoxious passengers for filler. We are thinking about using obnoxious commenters. But we haven't gotten a hold of any of them yet. Thank you for your interest in the situation. Goose Hangar

Lovely surroundings, and I agree with the comment of the natural sounds, opposed to intrusive music. Again, thank you. DJ in Knoxville TN

Kman this footage is on the Kenai Peninsula not that far by air from Anchorage, I used to see it taking off from lake hood in Anchorage, which is by the way the largest seaplane base in the world. This is one of a few left flying, and so you know Alaska was the last place in the world that the Grumman goose flew commercial flights, that was out to the remote Alaskan Aleutian Islands by pen air, stopped unfortunately a few years ago. By the way their are also a few Grumman widgeons still flying in Alaska, one on the Kenai Peninsula and another one commercial out on Kodiak island, he flew guests out to a fishing lodge on Kodiak I used to work at, can’t remember his fan flying service name but he was an old timer, I think he still flies it on Kodiak, Google Kodiak Grumman widgeon. It’s beautiful, I remember it was yellow and blue.
