Which plane am I looking for?
Sawyer, the Goose is great airplane. The Grumman Ironworks built it like a tank to last. After your PHD in plumbing to manage the fuel system, and learning to keep your knuckles out of the gear wheel, you took a gymnastic course to learn how to wiggle through the pilots window and scramble over the fuselage when docking on the right side. This did help to keep our weight down:-) Next on the agenda was dancing lessons, to learn to co-ordinate and speed up your feet, in order to keep that short coupled old girl tracking straight down the runway on that NARROW gear in a 90 degree crosswind,and every now and then trying to remember if you put the hull plugs back in before you left the ramp that morning, you would non-chalantly ask your passenger beside you if those "extra"drain plugs were beside his seat. Yeah,I miss the old girl
