This amphibious aircraft was not found on the apron with all the other static displays. Instead, it was a decorative piece for the Red Bull section. This aircraft represents one of four extremely rare Grumman flying boats. All were developed during WWII, after the war, many were scrapped. The few that were given to civilian operators are barely flying as of now.
