Hi Guys,
I just wanted to take a minute of your time and agree with Eric about Mr.Frank Tallman and the aerobatics he used to perform with it.I saw him at the Mojave Unlimited Air races in 1974,I was 13 years old and I became a lifelong fan of Mr.Tallman.THe manuevers that he pulled off with his Grumman Duck were simply incredible and had to be seen to be believed.I never would have believed that a Duck could be hauled around like that if I had'nt seen it for myself,WOW!To get a small sample of his flying a duck, check out the movie Murphy's War. If I'm not mistaken thats Mr. Tallman and his Duckflying in the film.its great flying and a so-so movie.........Thanks,Tim.........
: I bet it was Tallman seen here at Toronto in the early 70s
: . What a show he did looping and rolling the Duck. He was
: a big hit for me at the time, I was only 10 or 11 when he
: came to Toronto. Whe was Midway made?
