[quote:JLK:MV8xNDY4MjE0XzMyNDMwMDYzXzEyQTE2OUEw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 19612400:MV8xNDY4MjE0XzMyNDE4ODk3XzIzMzM5QjQx] John, Would you have flown the Spruce Goose given the opportunity? I have only soloed a Cessna 150 which was scary enough but the thought of getting up to takeoff speed on the water in a wooden airplane with that many engines would terrify me! [/quote] I was out sailing one day in the Saanich Inlet, just north of Victoria BC and the Goose touched down within a couple hundred yards of us to pick up a load of water. Quite the amazing sight. The roar was deafening and I was ASTOUNDED at the rate of climb that thing had with a full load. Edit: Ooops! got confused with the Martin Mars water bomber. LOL! [/quote]
