The Goose they have in the show was the second Goose they tried to fly
out to the islands. The first, a Goose owned and flown by a fellow from
Anchorage by the name of Dodge, went down with engine trouble half way
there. Dodge was rescued just before it sank. Dodge was also the pilot
suspected of being the one that flew a helicopter into a mexican prison
to get an American out. Dodge flew a pink P51 out of Merrill Field in
Anchorage. He retired as an Alaska Airlines Pilot. He and his sons are
very well known in the Alaskan aviation circles. The Goose was loved
for it's ability to land almost anywhere, it's performance and it's
payload.

Thanks, The Gneech I've had in my favourites for
years, Tales I found a while back and the others
came from a google search, " tales of the gold monkey".
There's a lot more sites out there.
There was an animated Saturday morning kiddies
takeoff on the Gold Monkey also.
So, no biters on the bushplane thing? :-)

Michael,
Yes, that's the series. It was set at Key West or somewhere in
the Caribbean and they would fly from one island to another with their
adventures. I spoke to the people at Amazon about the subject, but
never heard anything.
Take care,
David

I've been trying to find the old TV series "The Tales of the
Golden Monkey" which Linda is working on. Does anyone remember this
series about 25 years ago?
Good Luck,

Rob,
I've got pix of the set in my camera, but now I discover that the Olympus software
will not load in my new PC (with Vista). I am ordering Olympus Master 2,
and should get it next week.

I'm looking for a used wood prop with which I can gain experience in
good takeofs and landings. My first real landing resulted in a damaged
left gear and destroyed metal prop. Repairs are in progress and I hope
to be back in the air in Sept. No damage to the wings, fuselage and it
appears to the engine ( no abrupt prop stop ). One more engine check to
go.
I have a gorgeous wood, custom prop given to me by a friend, but am
reluctant to use it until I get better at this landing thing. The
embarassing part is I got my taildragger rating on a Friday and smacked
my plane the following Monday.
Something in the low 70's in dia and low 40's pitch. Is there anything
out there??

| Subject: | Re: Practice prop |
Maybe instead of investing in an expendable prop in case it gets pranged
again, it would be better to spend that money for some more flight training.
Murphy states that if you spend money on an expendable prop you will then
damage everything but the prop the next time you do something.
Figure out why your incident happened, and resolve the issue. If it's a
problem with the aircraft, fix that. If it was a problem with the pilot, fix
that.
Just out of curiosity, how was the prop destroyed without damaging the
engine? If the prop is bent while it is not turning, that could still
transmit a tremendous amount of force to the crankshaft. Make sure nothing
was damaged before taking to the skies again....
