Default Goose at FL 360????

Those old Grumman's can really fly, can't they?
I wonder if it was converted from round engines to turbines?
You would think ATC would have warned each of the aircraft about
conflicting traffic based on the transponder returns.
Usually, there are two NTSB postings, one for each aircraft, when a
mid-air collision between two aircraft occur. No N-number on the Grumman
Goose?
:-))


Is the following for real or is there a typo?
Geese in Class A airspace???
