Sitting outside Anchorage's Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum beside Lake Hood. Built in 1943 and brought on charge by the US Navy in 1944 as Grumman JRF-5, 84807. Retired in 1956. Carries the badge of the US Department of the Interior - Fish and Wildlife Service to which it was transferred at Anchorage, AK in 1957. Ownership was passed to the Museum in 1996. Now fully restored and maintained in full flying condition.

This Goose still does get in the air from time to time. In the background is the cupola saved when the old ANC control tower was demolished.

Delivered to the US Navy as JRF-5 84807. To the US Department of Interior, Fish & Wildlife Service as N789 in 1957 then to the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in 1996 and maintained in airworthy condition.

I was fortunate to watch this Goose be taken out of the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum and taxi from Lake Hood over to Anchorage Airport for the Tradeshow. It was built in 1943 and still looks good.
