Grumman Duck and Albatross Formation Mid America Flight Museum

This was such a fun flight to be a part of. It was so cool to fly two Grumman built amphibians in formation and land and take off from the water in formation as well.
Scott Urschel and Bruce Haffner shot some amazing footage from the museum's Long Ranger helicopter with a very nice camera on the nose.

I am impressed how well the helicopter positioned himself to keep out of each others wake turbulence while getting the great shots.

Flying an albatross is a serious bucket list item for me. At this point I'd take riding in one! Dream airplane like you wouldn't believe.

Talk about flashback/goosebumps....I ew radio on the Albatross from 2/64 to 8/66 flying out of Naha, Okinawa...and life was good!! Great film. Thanks for the 50+ years trip to the past.

[@ErikJohnston]

Mark Morris Please do!! Would love to see those pictures

[@bushpilot172]

Amazing video! Did you notice the bird strike on the Albatross right wing at 8:06?

[@ErikJohnston]

bushpilot172 That’s amazing!! I never saw that. Great catch

[@Burningwithecstasy]

that bird turned to dust, good luck it didn't go into the canopy

[@JustPlaneSilly]

albatross killed a seagull

[@jakedriggers5987]

So that’s where that dent came from!

[@tsmall07]

I thought I saw it and slowed down the video to 1/4 speed to confirm. Hard to believe it hit.

[@davidholdman8015]

Awesome

[@Redmia-bk1bu]

why Grumman mallard not joint us flight formation?

[@stephenburgess5109]

This is where they belong in the air not a lifeless static in a museum

[@craigpalmer9196]

only way to make a better would be the DUCK and a PBY

[@ErikJohnston]

craig palmer That would be cool.
