EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman G.44 Widgeon amphibian aircraft, specifically registration N4617 (msn 1364), undergoing a significant engine upgrade in the mid-1960s. The Widgeon, a versatile and iconic design produced by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, was originally powered by Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engines. However, this particular aircraft was re-engined with modern, horizontally opposed Lycoming GO-435 six-cylinder engines, delivering approximately 212 horsepower. The GO-435 engines, a popular choice for light aircraft during this era, offered increased power, efficiency, and reliability compared to the radial engines. The installation of these new engines marked a significant milestone in the life of N4617, allowing it to continue its service in the aviation community with renewed vigor. The photograph captures the Widgeon's sleek lines and distinctive amphibian features, including its retractable landing gear and floats, which enabled it to take off and land both on water and land. The GO-435 engines are visible in the foreground, their polished metal surfaces gleaming in the sunlight. The overall scene exudes a sense of progress and innovation, as the Widgeon adapts to the evolving technological landscape of general aviation in the 1960s. This photograph is an intriguing snapshot of aviation history, showcasing the enduring appeal of the Grumman Widgeon and the transformative power of engine technology.
