CLUTCHCARGO - that’s the name. He was a funny cartoon seaplane pilot character from a TV show that aired here back in the 60’s. --- It’s a Chicago thing.

Old Timers

Interesting short video on "Old Timer" Alaskan Bush Pilots, from History Channel.  Worth watching - a little over 8 minutes long.  Check out old timer Oren Hudson, from Alaska, in his 1942 Grumman G-44 Widgeon.  Is that a bicycle type chain drive built into the yolk for aileron control?  Looks like my old Schwinn 10 speed.  Go Oren!
