The Grumman Goose prototype, first flown on 29 May 1937. Delivered to private owners as NX16910 on 3 July and used for commuting to New York. The full type certificate was issued on 29 September and aircraft then became NC16910. Later rebuilt to G-21A. Sold to Aerovías Nacionales de Puerto Rico in 1940. Eventually used by US Corps of Engineers in Canada and reportedly buried at some remote site.
