A 1943 Grumman G-44 Widgeon has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
The 1943 Grumman G-44 Widgeon is a truly exceptional aircraft—really nice, very fun to fly, and packed with character and capability. This particular Widgeon underwent a complete rebuild just 500 hours ago and has been meticulously upgraded with modern features while retaining its classic charm. It’s powered by robust GO480 Lycoming engines with no A/D props, and equipped with dual alternators, Redline brakes, an electric hydraulic pump, and Oregon Aero seats for top-notch comfort. The avionics have been modernized with Garmin radios, making this flying boat as practical as it is nostalgic. A real head-turner on any ramp or dock, this Widgeon proudly served during WWII and began its journey at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. A rare piece of aviation history, beautifully restored and ready for adventure.
