First registered NC86615 for pre-delivery flight testing by Grumman, this Widgeon was registered CF-EHD when delivered to Algoma Steel Ltd August 12, 1946. It was converted to a Super Widgeon by Link Aeronautical in 1951. The next twenty years it would go back and forth across the border as N75071 and N71Q, CF-WFM to N4018 by 1969. Sitting idle 1992 -2018 with a new owner reverting the registration to N71Q in 2014, the aircraft flew again in August 2018.
