Delivered to Inter-Island Airways in January 1937 as NC16934. To Alaska Airlines in July 1949 as N16934. Damaged and sank in Chignik Bay, Alaska (not Tetlin Lake as widely reported) on 1 June 1951. Cancelled as destroyed that same month. Often reported as becoming N326, but this is not correct (N326 was c/n 4342). Wreck salvaged from Chignik Bay by Gary Larkins in 1981 and donated to the US Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum that same year, then to Pima in 1985. By August 1991 the markings '2-MJ-4' were applied. The markings visible in this photo are fake (the real 1061 was c/n 4344) and were applied in the late 1990s or in early 2000.

Sikorsky S-43 amphibian N16394 preserved wearing the markings of '1061', a US Marine Corps JRS-1 of VMJ-2 transport squadron, code '2-MJ-4'. The latter aircraft was c/n 4344. Many sources claim that N16934 was reregistered to N326 at some point, but this is not correct. N326 was c/n 4342.

Fake markings, is ex N16934 and never served for the military. The real 1061 was c/n 4344.

This is ex N16934 which was immaculately restored and on display at the wonderful Pima Air & Space museum.

This 12-passenger amphibian was owned by William K. Vanderbilt of New York City. George Vanderbilt had a Douglas Dolphin 12, and Harold Vanderbilt had a Lockheed 14-N. It is in dark blue and silver. I would say it was no coincidence that this was the special color scheme for Navy aircraft of that period used by an Admiral.

Has a fake identity pretending to be a JRS-1. It is actually ex N16934 (delivered in 1937 as NC16934), which never saw military service. This aircraft was recently restored by the staff of Pima Air and Space Museum.
