Great photos but "just East of Hartford.
Simsbury Airport is like any little grass strip" :?
You must have been tried :lol:
More like NNW of Hartford and asphalt.
Sorry, I'm still mad for staying home on that lovely day to watch the Pats lose to the J*E*t*S :evil:

Does anyone know if that Widgeon is, perhaps, the Widgeon that was located in Geneseo, NY at the National Warplane Museum around the 1989-1990 time period? From what I recall, that plane was flown out to a new owner in CT and was the exact McKinnon conversion shown here...

I kick myself for not having photos or data on it... I was only 10 years old when I saw it.

Thanks!

kalamazookid,
If you want to see what a Lycoming R-680 powered Widgeon looks like, check out the following links to Airliners.net:

The Widgeon in question is G-44 N404Q, c/n 1388, and the photos were taken at Miami Kendall-Tamiami Executive in February 2001.

I know this thread is supposed to be about airplanes, but, OMG, I'm absolutely in LOVE with that red Deuce roadster with the full-house flattie! :heart:

The Cessna 195 is a real looker, too!

Cheers,
