Great pics. Something one doesn't see everyday.

The first picture looks like it belongs on some kind of memorabilia. !!!!

You are right: the picture of the Grumman Goose was taken outside the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum Anchorage.
It is located at the shores of Lake Hood seaplane base which is probably the biggest / busiest seaplane airbase in the world,
All other pictures except the de Haviland Beaver picture were taken there, too.
The Beaver was taken at Lake Christiansen (where I did my seaplane rating)
