Grumman Goose At BK?
Hi All
I saw what I think is a Grumman Goose at Bankstown today, parked near the Air Ag hangar. Pretty airplane.
Am I right about the identification and does anyone know anything about it (who owns it, why it's at BK, etc, etc)?
I couldn't spot a rego anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Could well be wrong, but believe its owned by Geoff Hunt from DRW? And believe it was going through a rebuild of sorts...

Hey B747Heavy.., How's it hangin
It can't be the Hunt one, his 'tross is still in a hangar with an arm missing, will crack a bottle of bubbles if that ever fly's again ! , unless he's got a Goose !
If this one is a Goose.,., dunno
But recently a radial Mallard has migrated in and bumming around based out of Qld

Yes definitely a gorgeous airplane. Had a closer look inside over the weekend and I could easily see myself island hopping around the south pacific in that thing. Lucky man.

Shouldn't that be "geese"?

Anyone care to post any pictures of it on here?
If only I had some lazy $$$$$ lying around.
Nice to look at, not at all nice to own..........

They are very nice to look at. In my dreams I'd be cruising the Pacific in a PT-6 powered Goose... in my dreams .
