Adrian Hoogenbosch, 01-20-04 , Bill Odell Float Base, 95, BGAD027, Grumman Goose , ,, The BGA Goose is a delightful "cosy" aircraft to fly. Lands easy on runways and on water. Fun to roll out of Capt Odell's hangar. Like a duck--- sorry, goose on water.

This aircraft had a part in history. Dutch East Indies Navy livery. She escaped from (indonesia) in 1942 with refugees but was destroyed by the Japanese while waiting refuelling off Broome on Australia's West coast. She is similar to the Catalina.

So I ended up back at G with some 40 passengers in the dark after some 5380 nm and 3 T&Gs, (but no taxiing about). Have fun on the Rally guys, & keep the dummies in the prams.
