Some passengers would be worried, I think, if they found out that their aircraft was 62 years old, and was actually given to a museum 31 years ago! As a U-1A, 55-3296, it served with US Army aviation in Alaska until 1973, then as N90422 'Miss Piggy' for the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory (NARL) from 1975 until 1987. With 4346 hours on the clock, the Otter was converted to turbine in 1993, and celebrated its 25th anniversary with Kenmore in the summer of 2018.
