| Tod Dickey Phoenix, AZ | At 5500 lbs, the draft of the 44a model is 26 inches. 11/04/2007 @ 20:24 [ref: 18401] |
| Tim Luna Pier, MI | Does anyone know the draft of the Grumman Widgeon at mooring(empty weight)? 10/01/2006 @ 18:55 [ref: 14344] |
| Sven Beck Poway, CA | I recently inhereted a number of slides from the islands of Micronesia and came across a photo of a damaged widgeon under a Quanset type hanger. I am guessing that it was early to mid 1960's in the Marshall Islands (with other slides from there). In doing a check, I found that the plane hit a submerged object with its left float in Alitak Harbor, ALASKA (!) during take off on 11/12/64, causing significant damage.
I am curious about how it ended up in Micronesia. If anyone knows about it, I would be very interested. The plane was more recently registered (Oct 2000) in Phoenix, AZ. 04/24/2005 @ 20:38 [ref: 10029] |

| Gary Correll Nine Mile Falls,, WA | I have just completed a land development project, cash poor, land rich, willing to trade for a Widgeon. The lots are all water accesable via 2,000 ft. canal, streets are paved, all utilities are in. The lake is 28 miles long, located in the Spokane area. 09/01/2002 @ 13:43 [ref: 5596] |
