Description

In 1962, Alaska Coastal Airlines of Juneau and Ellis Air Lines of Ketchikan merged. The merger produced the biggest Grumman Goose fleet in the world which included 19 “Geese.” Goose operations continued past the purchase of Alaska Coastal by Alaska Airlines, but all the amphibious operations were eventually phased out in the 1970s. This set depicts N79901 and N79914 as they appeared in the full Alaska Coastal colors in the 1970s.
