Also, don't forget- larger aircraft generally use ramps or tenders... it's not a Beaver... Btw, growing up in Juneau, AK, the Goose would routinely taxi to the dock and parallel park (so to speak) amongst the other floatplanes lined up along the dock. Having said that, it’s true there were dock handlers to prevent too many collisions… https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file

I used to love to fly it around SE Alaska. https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file
