FS2004/FSX Mallard N2965 USACOE. FS2004 and FSX-port over textures for the Grumman G-73 Mallard from Milton Shupe, et al. These textures represent N2965, Grumman c/n J-24. This one-owner machine served for 27 years with the US Army Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the US Department of the Interior. For most of those years she was piloted by J.N. Clesi, whose name appears below the left seat window. Home base for J-24 was Vicksburg, Mississippi. However, N2965 went missing over the Gulf of Alaska on 30 September 1974 while working with the D.O.I. No trace of the aircraft or its pilot and three passengers was ever found.
