I know those planes. I've flown on Single Otters, Twin Otters, Grumman Gooses (Geese?), Beavers, and even a short trip on a Cub J3 floater. (my Dad had one of those (on wheels) when I was a teen back in the late 50’s.) I even got time flying it and riding with Dad stunting it.

Grumman Goose. Cool airplane.
Many in our family worked for Grumman on Long Island - Bethpage. Starting in the late ‘40’s.

We’re now in CA since 1969, where the Grumman
F-14 Tom Cat was brought to test it’s missiles out over the Pacific from a Navy Base.
We were transferred here for the project, and retired here.
