Default Grumman over Sydney?
Hi,
yesterday I saw a Grumann amphibius aircraft over Berowra heading to Richmond or Bankstown.
It had radial engines ,was white and blue and was very low and fast. It looked like a Grumann G73 Mallard.
I saw it at 15:03

Did anyone hear or see it as well?

See ya

Andre

It flew over Dee Why this morning heading east to west, very distinctive engine sound, looked great.

What a great report. Wish there were more of these than the unnecessary saturation about Parliamentary speakers!

A great looking aircraft. I thought I recognised the rego.

I was fortunate enough to coma across three Grummans when I visited St Lucie County Airport in Florida three years ago. N42MY is the closest of the three in this photo:
