The aircraft is a Franklin Gander conversion with 260hp IO-470 Continental engines. It spent many years in Alaska as N28676 & N85U where it was wrecked/sunk several times. It has a modified nose cap, G-44A bow, no 2nd step aft, McKinnon retractable floats and a fairing behind the main wheel wells. It was re-registered N144SL in October 2018 and sold to a new owner in New Zealand and was last noted dismantled at Ardmore Airport, North Island, awaiting restoration in March 2022.
