pmccarthy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Is it a Grumman Duck or a Grumman Goose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 At our previous farm the house was right on the Bogan river. It was beautiful to see pelicans come in for a ski landing with hardly any wing flapping on the glassy water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Is it a Grumman Duck or a Grumman Goose? I can't see any see any snow all about, so it can't be a Muskovich. It's a Grumpy Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 That undercarriage looks like its designed for landing on water, what's he doing, lining up with a sealed runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 He's an amphibian. You can't see it in the photo, but little wheels have popped out of those skis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Living the life on a boat in Port Stephens. I see up to a hundred perfect landings a day, all amphibious. Pelicans are just awesome to watch land and gannets are awesome diving into the water to fish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 A peculiar bird is the Pelican. His beak can hold more than his bellycan. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRviator Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That undercarriage looks like its designed for landing on water, what's he doing, lining up with a sealed runway?Must've been trained by the same instructor that taught these pilots: Let's have a looksee at what's wrong here... ASI is off-scale-low Both engines are shut down (low oil pressure lights on) Flaps are at 0 Thrust levers are closed, so likely they don't meet the stable approach criteria. Speedbrake is nor armed Oh, and my personal favourite - the parking brake is on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Looks perfectly valid for a short field landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
