I just noticed a change in the FAA registration database regarding Grumman G-21A aircraft; as of Jan. 21, 2016,
N7821 (Grumman G-21A s/n
B-47) is now registered to
Yanks Air Museum. As I recall, that was one of the ones registered to
Roy Mabee at least up until recently. I had heard rumors of a Goose or two belonging to him being shut away in hangars at Chino and being restored - or maybe not so actively.
Does anyone know more about this recent change of ownership in particular?
And last time I checked, the YAM web site still had the same error regarding airspeeds for the Goose that they had there (in reference to N329, s/n B-140) probably literally as much as 3 or 4 years ago when I wrote them to call their attention to the errors - and they still have not made a correction.

"Cruise: 191 mph
Top Speed: 130 mph"
That's kinda' backwards at best.
