Waco YKS NC16210 was brought to Alaska, fresh from the factory, by Bob Ellis in the summer of 1936.

16210 was overall yellow with blue trim, struts and lettering. The blue cheat line had narrow silver borders. When new, the cheat line extended to the front of the cowling with a diamond pattern identical to Haakon's NC2335. Floats were the standard aluminum paint.

In 1941 Ellis, already a Naval Reserve officer, was activated and for three months after Pearl Harbor he flew this Waco on antisubmarine patrol out of Ketchikan. A hole was cut in the floor through which a 100 lb. bomb could be dropped, and one rifle was also carried.
