Goose Launch

Here's a spectacular picture of a goose taking off from the water. It's quite a sight watching them running across the surface of the water and flapping like crazy until they finally get airborne.




And HERE's another spectacular take-off by a Goose, this time one from Grumman.

I can't imagine why these guys didn't pull the power and start over when it first started to get out of shape.

Throttles got stuck maybe?

My dad crew chiefed on a Grumman Albatross back when he was in the CA ANG...long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Great Vid, great old plane, sorry to see it aground, somebody who cares will fix it. Wish I knew the whole story, what the entire conversation was, where it was, etc.
