Only one of these was privetly owned and only one exists now. My neibor had been best friends with the owner and got to fly it! He said it flew as if the floats wernt there! He flew b-17 dc-3 dc4 Huey helicopters he flew a chinook once or twice, a lot of GA aircraft. And much much more. Most USAF pilots get 4000-5000 flight hours in 30 years, he had gotten 8000 hours in just 25 years! Rip Lt col. Clarence “Gil” gilles jr. 1926-2015
