Bruce Douglas' 1947 RC-3 Seabee is one of the most pristine examples of the classic Republic amphibian you'll ever find and is a frequent visitor of lakes and waterways across the Midwest. #EAA #aircraft #aviation #osh24 #oshkosh #airventure #vintageairplane #vintageaircraft #amphibiousaircraft #amphibian | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation

Built in February 1947, our RC-3 Seabee was the 462nd Seabee off the production line. In 1967, as the initial aircraft of start-up airline Air Molokai, this Seabee was acquired by Hang Younge. It was retired after a few years and purchased in 1979 by airline pilot Bob Gould who began restoration. He named it Tuesday's Child because, when asked when the Seabee would fly again, he always replied, "Tuesday!" | Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
