Photo Comment

US Navy Widgeon 37716 was delivered December 12, 1943. Struck off strength in May 1946 and sold as surplus. Registered N67586, it was converted by McKinnon - Hickman to a Continental powered Super Widgeon in 1955. The aircraft was flying in Canada between May 1973 - October 1980. Although it crashed in Alaska in 1983, the classic seaplane was rebuilt using parts from three other aircraft in 1989 and is current as N480AK based in Anchorage, AK at the time of uploading.
