Antilles Air Boats
Antilles Air Boats operated a seaplane airline in the Caribbean from 1963 to 1981, founded by famed aviator Charles Blair and his movie star wife, Maureen OHara.

According to one of their pilots, Ed Hanley, one Antilles aircraft would often make 20 to 30 landings per day around the Caribbean, including St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Ed piloted both the Grumman Goose G-21A (which carried 10 people) and the Grumman Mallard G-73 (15 people).
Other aircraft operated by Antilles air Boats included the Consolidated PBY-5A, Shorts S.25 Sandringham and the Sikorsky VS-44.
