1 1948 Grumman Turbine Mallard G-73T A Magnificent Example of The Legendary Amphibious Aircraft

2 1948 Grumman Turbine Mallard (G-73T) Exclusive private executive aircraft Suited for global circumnavigation Ideal for remote operations Lowest airframe time of any turbine Mallard Zero unscheduled maintenance Limited salt water usage Full de-icing capabilities Completely renovated - New turbine engines - New interior - Complete metalwork - New exterior paint - New wiring This is the ultimate machine for adventure travel and/or remote work. J-34 has extensive capabilities which allow successful operation in a wide variety of environments. Its long-range performance, amphibious versatility and superb handling in limited access areas make this the perfect aircraft to bring the exotic parts of the globe within reach. This executive aircraft was rebuilt. A total renovation was completed in 1999/2000 encompassing mechanical and cosmetic, and the installation of new Pratt and Whitney PT6-34A engines which provide excellent maneuverability in all water applications. Comprehensive avionics and full de-icing capability add to J-34's unique operating capacities which are virtually non-existent in current production aircraft. J-34 has been meticulously maintained by a full time pilot and support staff. The custom classic Mallard paint scheme has overall Sterling Matterhorn White, Midnight Blue at bow and waistline, and on cowlings and floats with contrasting red detail. The passenger executive interior is complete with the original teak appointments, Rogue Sable leather seats, contrasting Tahopia headliner, Jasper Savannah carpeting and heavy duty natural canvas cargo covers. Cabin seating includes 4 reclining chairs, 2 club seats and a 3-place sofa. The forward cabinet houses a portable bar unit and hot cup. The separate lavatory compartment has a monogram flush toilet.

3 Turbine Mallard Water Capabilities Global travel demands J-34's excellent water capabilities. At maximum weight in the water, the aircraft draws 2-6". Once it is up on a step, it draws less than 5". The turbine conversion makes J-34 extremely maneuverable for docking or positioning into tight spots. Beta (reverse) and multi-engines allow for easy back up or turn-around, basically on the spot. It can maneuver nose up and easily attach/detach to or from moorings using the nose hatch with single pilot operations. It is also useful to extend the undercarriage in the water and taxi onto a ramp or hard shoreline. In remote locations, one can back the aircraft onto a sandy beach for easy exit. If the bottom is friendly, leave the gear up and rest right on the sand or silt. If bottom conditions are unknown, lower the gear and taxi to protect the hull. This is very effective in an unfamiliar area. The Turbine Mallard operates well in water with limited access. In particular, it can touch down and come to a stop in less than a quarter mile. On takeoff, one can turn quite sharply while coming on a step if a straight path is not handy when operating on small bodies of water, rivers, amongst reefs or when using the lee of an island to get calmer conditions.
