US Navy J4F-2 Bu 37713 1943 until sold surplus in 1946. This Widgeon became NC58828 (later N58828) with private owner Angus G. McKinnon. Teaming with Vernon Hickman, the Super Widgeon conversion was developed by the McKinnon - Hickman Company and the aircraft was converted in 1953. Registered CF-HAC in Canada after the upgrade, the aircraft returned to the USA in 1958 as N137B and after 1984, N778D.
