Hi Guys,
New seaplane arrived in Perth on our Swan river, it will stay here till JUNE.
It looks like something from WW1, can anyone share some information about it?
kind regards
jack

It looks like a Grumman Ag-cat on floats...

We used to see Ag-cats flying here for many years (until recently) and I know them very well. The engine sound of these small biplanes is real music! :-)

This would be a great experience! Make sure to take some air to air photos to share with us, if you get to fly in it ;-)

Well that might not be easy, there is not much air traffic above the river so most likely those will be air to ground photos, we will see....

I meant air to ground sorry! But if there was a chance for A2A too it would be even better! Once in a lifetime experience!
