This is a thread about Grumman aircraft (including Grumman American).

 

If your've got any flight experience in any Grumman type aircraft here is the place to tell.

 

Thanks

Hi Skykid,

 

The latest Australian Pilot (the magazine produced by the AOPA) has a flight evaluation of the Grumman G-44 Widgeon......

 

Cheers......Doug

Grumman on an aircraft is like Sterling on Silver. I mean the big jet ones for carriers not the little lighties, they were built during the same period when Grumman built city buses for survival. Hey buses are pretty tough too. Did you ever see the landing gear tests required by the US Navy for carrier based aircraft. Saw the one for the Hornet. A straight drop from 20 feet in slow motion. Pretty impressive stuff..
