Grumman Tracker!

Logging up more air miles than my trusty Beech Baron 58, at the moment!

Parked up at Bakersfield en route from Santa Monica to Lemoore NAS airfield...>>>

This Aircraft was considered one of the "ugliest" Aircraft, in another thread, but I have grown to like her over the past few days. She has even relegated my Beech Baron 58 to back stage during my recent Tours!

With an excellent 2D Panel (I like 2D Panels!.. :P..), and an excellent turn of speed.
And those two Wright R-1820 Rotaries growl very nicely..thank-you!... ;)... ;D...!

....not to mention its excellent STOL characteristics!.... :o...!

[color=#000000]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Paul. And you know I have an affinity for twin radials. The sweet sound alone is enough to wipe away any ugliness.

Brilliant choice of aircraft Paul. You might enjoy these photos I took back in '08. They show an Australian Navy Grumman S-2G Tracker that is currently under restoration. Although at the time she was only in taxi-worthy condition but still a sight to behold, and then there's the sound. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thanks for the photo's, Mitch!... ;)..!

As a comparison, I reckon the designer of my Sim Tracker really done her proud!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!
...a perfect example!

I'm addicted to her at the moment!.... :-*...!
