EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman J2F-6 aircraft with the registration number 7790, now known as US Air Force (USAF) OA-12 48-563, on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Originally built as a Grumman G-15/J2F-6 with the BuAer number 33587, this historic aircraft underwent a remarkable transformation. In the 1940s, 7790 served the US military as a versatile amphibian aircraft, but its story did not end there. After the war, on October 21, 1946, it was civilianized and registered as N67790. The aircraft's new chapter began as it was put to use in various roles, including that of a firebomber and a movie star. The 1970s and 1980s brought 7790 to the National Museum of the United States Air Force where it was painted in USAF markings as an OA-12. Today, this iconic piece of aviation history continues to captivate visitors, reminding us of its rich and varied past.
