Grumman Goose and Stearman

Postby BigTruck » Sun Jul 24, 2011 3:37 am

First time I have witnessed a Goose Widgeon in the air, I was pretty excited about that.

That's the first turbo Goose I've ever seen. Nice shots. :)

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

You're going to hate me for this, but it looks more like a Grumman Widgeon then a Goose. :P

Sorry Chief.

That's the first turbo Goose I've ever seen.


Unfortunetly not turbo, but that would be impressive. 8-)

More info on the Widgeon

Right you are Mitch.  The narrator announced it as a Goose and I didn't give it a second thought.  Oh well, first time I have seen a Widgeon in the air then.   ;D
