Pima Air Museum Grumman “Petulant Porpoise” (# 0690)

Pima Air Museum Grumman  “Petulant Porpoise” (# 0690)
Grumman J4f-2 Widgeon, produced from 1932 to 1942. Originally designed for civilian use but used by the military in WWII as a coastal search and rescue aircraft. This one was sold to a private corporation in 1948, repainted, and given the name ‘Petulant Porpoise” – I couldn’t find a reason for the name.
