Almost 500 copies of this amphibian were built. They saw extensive service in the
Korean War and in
Viet Nam, primarily in the search-and-rescue role. They were used by the
U.S. Air Force (originally as the
SA-16),
U.S. Navy and
Coast Guard (as the
JR2F and
UF), along with many foreign air forces and civilian operators. This model has the landing gear extended.
