Delivered new to E. W. Wiggins Airways of Massachusetts in October 1946 although the notes with the photo say it was owned by the State of Rhode Island. Maybe Wiggins had a contract with the state to provide a flying boat or it was being demonstrated in the hope of a sale. The number of Seabees in the background of other photos of NC87524 this day is a strong indication this is at the factory at Farmingdale. Remains of N87524 in a Florida scrap yard in 2004.

NC600Y (N600Y) current in 2023. Pilot is Anthony "Andy" Stinis, the writing on the side says "Licensed by Skywriting Corp of America". Stinis was a skywriting pioneer and in 1932 became Pepsi-Cola's official skywriter. Later flew flying boats for Pan Am and the US Navy. Postwar helped develop "skytyping" where several aircraft write at the same time. Stinis was killed in 1992, aged 83, when he was struck by a car while crossing the road in Florida.

This aircraft was originally ordered by Sweden as a Seversky EP-106 two-seat trainer, part of a 120-aircraft deal. Undelivered aircraft were requisitioned in October 1940 by the US government and handed to the USAAC. The EP-106 was the export version of the P-35 fighter and designated J9 in Sweden. The USAAC called the ex-Swedish single-seaters Republic P-35A and the two-seaters Republic AT-16. Seversky had changed its name to Republic in 1939. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
