| W. K. Berner Jr. Fairhope,, AL | My father flew the Great Lakes TG-2 as X.O. of Torpedo Squadron VT-2B aboard USS Saratoga CV-3 in 1936 and 1937. I would value any available photos of that vintage aircraft. 05/08/2008 @ 15:04 [ref: 20832] |
| Mark Maulden burlington, WA | I was a member of the Scouts mentioned by Gary Connor and learned how to fly and was rated in this glider in the late sixties/early seventies. Gary was my principal flight instructor in this glider. This glider was made in 1939 by the Schweizer Aircraft Co. 02/08/2008 @ 13:20 [ref: 19611] |
| Chuck Wohlrab Kabul, Afghanistan, OTH | I checked the three pictures in the upper corner of the page, and two are not of the TG-2 or T4M. The TG-2 was a version of the Martin T4M that was licensed to Great Lakes for production. The floatplane version of the TG-2 had twin floats (so that a torpedo could be nested in the center). The aircraft in the second and third photos has a single centerline float. 09/08/2006 @ 06:41 [ref: 14099] |
| Gary Connor Seattle Wa., WA | the tg 2 at march afb was last used by boy scout explorer post 299 out of seattle to train the members to fly. they were sponsored by Boeing airplane co. and the Seattle glider council from 1952 till approx. 1976. I was one of the original scouts and went on to become one of the instructors with almost 1000 hours in this plane. 10/16/2005 @ 13:50 [ref: 11486] |
| Harold Bailey North Bend, OR | Has anyone noticed that the Naval Aircraft Factory TG-2 pictured as on display in the March Field museum is an entirely different airplane? It looks like a Schweizer glider. 06/11/2005 @ 20:19 [ref: 10452] |
