The Widgeon is the smallest in the Grumman family of amphibious aircraft. Though it was originally manufactured for the U.S. Navy, it has been privately owned and flown by James Magoffin. Mr. Magoffin is a pioneer of Alaskan aviation, founding Interior Aviation, Alaska International Air, and Mark Air. He has personally flown this plane to all points within the recreational areas of North America. Mr. Magoffin is a generous benefactor of the museum donating this Widgeon and the Norseman.
