Built in 1945 as Grumman JRF-5 Goose c/n B-137 BuNo 87743 for the US Navy, it was retired in 1953 and passed to the US Bureau of Land Management as N642. In the late 1960s, (conflicting dates are quoted), it was converted to turboprop power by McKinnon Enterprises of Sandy, OR., gaining the new c/n 1204.
