Remarks by Derek Linder: "The aircraft was built as a Grumman JRF-5 in April 1945 and delivered to the USN as BuNo. 87729 (c/n B-123). It was struck from the inventory in September 1953 and sold directly to the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska and registered as N640. Later on, circa 1964/65, N640 and another BLM Goose, N642, were taken to McKinnon Enterprises in Oregon and converted with a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6A SER turboprop engines; it was given the new c/n 1201. On July 10, 2001 it was registered to Larry Teufel of Hillsboro, Oregon, who has completely rebuilt it, the CofA was renewed on October 10, 2005." Visit www.grummangoose.com. |
