Put out to grass by the University of Fairbanks, which operated it from 1975 as N90422, in support of the Navy Arctic Research Laboratory (NARL). Still showing signs of its original military markings. Built in 1956 and delivered as U-1A 55-3296 to the US Army, which deployed it on operations in Alaska. Sold in 1993 and converted to a Vazar Turbine Otter with Kenmore Air, in whose service it has continued ever since. I have photographed it in operation again several times in its later life as seen here
