Wow...a Grumman Mallard! If there is a cooler airplane....
My father sent me the story. His father was a pilot in WWI, shot down twice. The second unplanned landing resulted in the loss of a lung, but he survived to the ripe old age of 93!
I get out west quite a bit...I'd love to meet you and Joe should the occasion arise.
