I'm sure someone has researched this, so I've come to the eternal well of wisdom which is the WIX for an answer.

Whatever happened to the three Grumman Ducks which were operated by the JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Radio Service--an airborne Christian missionary group that got its start in Peru in the 1940's)?

Perchance one little Duckie has slipped through the cracks and still remains to be retrieved?

Why do I keep dreaming of wrinkled Duck #2 lying in the weeds of that little airstrip near Yarinacocha?

Tulio (or somebody), finish this story and help me sleep at night.

Just by sheer coincidence, I scanned earlier yesterday morning, two slides of the very same Duck (Amauta) located somewhere in what it looks like a pond, in Peru.

These are dated 1984, author is unknown, and are color (Kodachrome) slides.

Saludos,


Tulio

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Ok, that didn't really help my sleep patterns...but my pulse is certainly up!

The article suggests that "Amauta" isn't the bird that wiped out though.

So who's in a position to do a little Peruvian Duck hunting? I know of at least a few on this board who would love to find some remains under their Christmas tree this year.
