Lockheed Model G

Allan and Malcolm Loughead built their first aircraft, the seaplane, in 1913. A wood and fabric covered three-seat seaplane with flat bottom floats. The aircraft featured ailerons mounted midway between the unequal-span mainplanes.

The Model G was test flown by the Loughead brothers at Santa Barbara, California.

The Model G was a main attraction at the Panama Pacific International Exposition held at San Francisco. Hundreds of visitors to the exhibition had their first experience of air travel in the Model G.
