Falsely painted in Marines markings as Bu1061 (the real 1061 was c/n 4344), this rare S-43 has in fact never seen military service. It was delivered in Jan 1937 as NC16934, and it kept that registration (later as N16934) until it hit a floating log on landing on Chignik Bay, AK (not on Tetlin Lake as widely reported) on 1 Jun 1951. Its hull ruptured, aircraft sank, registration cancelled 27 Jun 1951. Wreck salvaged 30 years later by Gary Larkins' and Darryl Greenamyer's Institute of Aeronautical Archaeological Research (Air Pirates) in 1981, and trucked to the Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum at MCAS Quantico, VA. It was loaned to the Pima museum in 1985. Often reported as becoming N326, but this is not correct (N326 was c/n 4342).
