Landing and taking off from clear stretches of water is straightforward ... but getting close to the heart-shaped coral formation without hitting the razor-sharp reef needed absolute concentration.

Pan American Airways began seaplane operations in January 1928, its first passenger flight being from Key West, Florida, to Havana, Cuba. This Pan Am legacy lives on today, under the auspices of Pan Am Air Bridge, which operates five Grumman/Frakes Turbo Mallard amphibians, including N2969, seen here on the slipway at Watson Island. Pan Am Air Bridge is based at Watson Island, Miami, immediately opposite Miami’s busy cruise ship port, having begun life as Chalk's Air Service, which was bom in 1917. Apart from a brief interlude during World War One, Chalk’s saw over 40 years of continuous operation until being purchased in 1970 by Resorts International. The first ‘turbinised’ Mallard entered service in November 1979 and in January 1996, the airline was purchased by three individuals, one of whom, Charles Cobb, retains the proprietary rights to the name ’Pan Am’ and its logo. Today, the Turbo Mallards provide scheduled services to Fort Lauderdale and some of the Bahamian Islands.

Adding a touch of glamour and nostalgia to the show was Sandy McTaggart’s Frakes Turbo Mallard C-FUOT. Built in 1948 as a radial-engined Grumman Mallard, C-FUOT was converted with PT6A-34 turboprop engines in 1972 and acquired by Sandy McTaggart ten years ago, since when it has alternated between the Bahamas (his current home) and Scotland (his birthplace). Unfortunately, due to failing health McTaggart is unable to continue flying it and is looking for anew owner - any reader got $2 million to spare?
