John A. Schwamm flew his Grumman G-44A Widgeon, N32BB, to Vancouver, BC to participate in the Expo 86 Bushplane Flypast of the Expo 86 site in downtown Vancouver on May 5, 1986. Most of the 23 participating aircraft took off from Pitt Meadows airport and the adjacent seaplane base and 11 aircraft landed on the ocean in English Bay to water taxi past the Expo exhibition site. This aircraft stalled and crashed into the sea off Ventura, CA while taking photos of a sailboat race almost a year later on April 12, 1987.

This Widgeon was owned by the J. Ray McDermott Co. of Harvey, LA. in 1969. It had been modified with Continental O-470 engines in 1955. The McDermott Co. used Widgeons for supporting oil rigs along the coastal inland areas of the Louisiana coast. When most of the drilling moved offshore out into the Gulf of Mexico McDermott sold the Widgeons.

This 1941 Widgeon was impressed in 1942 and operated by Pan American Airways for the US Navy as a J4F-2 BuNo 99077. Seen here operated by Northern Flyer LLC, making a low pass over Lake Hood during Alaska Aviation Air Museum's annual salmon bake fundraising event.

To CF-KKF in 1958 then to N13122 and converted to a McKinnon Super Widgeon in 1967. To the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in 2002 and mainitained in airworthy condition.

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.

A new import registered just days before the photo date, it is ex N86611 which it has carried since manufacture in 1946. Here visiting from its Boundary Bay (CZBB) base.

This Widgeon was delivered in 1941 as NC28679. It had a varied career with the USAAF (as 42-38217) and in Africa, lastly as N3103Q, until withdrawn from use in the mid 1970s and stored at Malta. It was bought by Lawrence Usher in 1987 and restored at Ipswich, UK. He registered it as G-DUCK on 15 Nov 1988. In 1992 the aircraft was shipped to the Musée de l'Hydraviation and later placed on display, painted as seen here. The Widgeon has its original registration NC28679 painted at the top of the tail. This is a composite airframe, with the wings, engines and props probably coming from Super Widgeon N750M c/n 1341.
