We have owned the airplane since 1969. First flew in 77 and we are now finally getting video of our fun.

We got a fall foliage fly-in this weekend. Hopefully if the weather is good, I will post more if there is interest.

Thanks,

Tid bit of info. Built in 1940, she flew with the Navy until 1959 at NAS Annapolis. She was one of the last 10 serving the Navy on floats off the Severn River giving rides to cadets wanting to be Naval pilots. She shortly served as a cropduster until she came into our hands in 1969. The 1st paint job was as a basic N3N durring ww2. She was later repainted in the early 90's after finding a pic of her on the seaplane ramp at Annapolis. Now we represent one of the last biplanes to serve in the US. Military.
