No mention is made of Grumman's production of an agricultural crop duster. As I recall, it was a pretty good aircraft.Mybuny 17:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other facility

Grumman also had a facility in Calverton, New York, I believe in conjunction with the US Navy. The structures still exist; there is an airfield, which at this point I believe is solely operated by the Navy, if at all, and there are other buildings which are part of a town industry revitalisation process and for sale. The main hangar is where pieces of the ill fated TWA Flight 800 were sorted through. Another section of the land was used for a town or county fair one year, and still another section was bought by SUNY Stony Brook. My knowledge is limited on Grumman's use of the land, though, or when the land was acquired and developed. Hope someone else can fill in the gaps! -- Kevin F.
