This G44A Widgeon is based at my home airport. It was the original plane in the Fantasy Island tv show. Now, sadly it is going up for auction - by a friend of mine on April 15th at our local Branson, Mo. car auction. We will miss seeing it around our pattern and on lake Taneycomo. Someone is going to get a bargain since there are not likely to be many amphib pilots at the show.    ALLEN W.

I'd be shocked it went for less than high $300K and am guessing closer to $500K. If it goes for less than the high $300K's it truly was a bargain. | |||

Makes me think of the little guy Herve Villechaize and the bad end he came to.

Have a few handfuls of hours in one that belonged to an old boss who was the original owner. I believe it had the Mcdermott conversion on it which were a pair of 240hp Lycoming's? It was a wicked classy airplane to fly both land and sea. | |||

 Sold to a guy in Florida for $302,500. Should have brought more in good times ... but these ain't good times.  It was actually flown in to Lake Taneycomo then pulled to the auction room about 1/4 mile inland. ALLEN W.
