The USCG introduced a new serial number system on October 13, 1936 and this aircraft's serial number was changed to V149. Subsequently, this aircraft was redesignated R3Q-1. In 1939, this aircraft was based with the Air Patrol Detachment at USCG Air Station Cape May, New Jersey. It was decommissioned in 1941."
