If your've got any flight experience in any Grumman type aircraft here is the place to tell. Thanks H :yin_yan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maj Millard Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 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..
