The Grumman Goose

The Goose was one in a long line of Grumman seaplanes, including the Wigeon and Albatross.  The Goose first flew in 1937,  and served in the military as an amphibious transport in WWII.  After the war, several were converted for use as commercial transports, and flew for many years.  One carrier, Catalina Airlines, flew them "26 miles across the sea" to Avalon, a resort on the island.  Many were later upgraded by McKinnon Enterprises and have flown for many more years, most as private transports.
