The Columbia Aircraft Corp of Valley Stream, NY, built the Grumman-designed J2F-6 Duck on display. Delivered to the US Coast Guard as BuNo 33587 in June1945, it became surplus in 1946 and was sold off for $1500 as NC67790. It had a series of civilian owners and in the early 1960s was converted to a fire tanker with a 300 gallon water tank, going on to be used for offshore rig support in the late 1960s. Obtained from Kermit Weeks in 1985, it is now painted to represent one of the rescue OA-12s the USAF acquired in 1948. The real 48-563 was restored in Alaska and flew again as N8563F in 2007
