it's a Duck. In this case, a Grumman J2F Duck.

Thanks for looking.

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

Great shots Larry Cool

I downloaded that plane just now.........haven't flown it yet.....how do you like it?

Looks pretty good Wink

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks Chuck.

I like it. It's deceiving, in that it starts out relatively slow, but once you get it trimmed out and adjust the mixture and prop, it will get up some speed.

But it is very difficult to land from the VC due to a slight nose up attitude and poor visibility. But it lands very smooth, land and sea.

Hi Larry.... Wink

Gosh trying to think of that movie where the German submarine comes up the river and the crew come ashore and shoot the British pilot who was wounded and in bed.

Then, I can not think of the actors name or movie but they try to destroy the sub by dropping some kind of homemade bombs from I believe it was a duck...it was a wonderful movie but for the love of me I can not remember the name or who was in it.

Can't ask the old girl, she is at church this being Easter Sunday, she is getting saved again... Roll Eyes

First Easter Sunday I have missed in ages... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

One of my favs. Something "War" starring Peter O'Toole. Huh

Speaking of memories, I can't remember which of the sim versions or maybe another sim altogether that had this beautiful plane Huh

Great pics Larry Shocked
