Three new additions to the Mid-America Flight Museum (MAFM) fleet arrived at Mount Pleasant Regional Airport in north-eastern Texas during September, the most significant acquisition being Pearl Harbor veteran Grumman J2F-4 Duck BuNo 1649. The historic amphibian - the only flying example of a Grumman-built Duck still in existence - was flown to Mount Pleasant from Kenosha, Wisconsin, where it had been operated by previous owner Chuck Greenhill. The amphibian first flew following a seven-year restoration with Wichita Air Services in Kansas in May 2005, and two years later won the Grand Champion WW2 award at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture show at Oshkosh (see also Aeroplane March 2015).
