May 1947 saw the birth of Seabee NC6429K (s/n 674). It was delivered new by Republic's pilots and demonstrated by Republic's pilots for a total of 2 (two) days to the USAAF as Model YOA-15. The Republic pilots then flew it back to the factory where it was used by the factory as a demonstrator on the east coast the rest of that year and the next. It was never assigned a mil number or painted any other color than a standard seabee. Republic sold it to a John Philbrook, who used it in his air charter business, Adirondiacs Airways (sp?) in ? Maine. John had a second seabee in the business and was killed in that one. Mr. Herman Mau bought it from the estate. It is now in FL at his home, land locked (for a few years now) because the water level in the lake it is on is too low to fly it out !! |
