From October to November, the ''June Bug'' was modified by adding floats to it in an attempt to create a seaplane. Renamed '''''Loon''''', attempts to fly it began on [[Keuka Lake]] on November 28. Although the aircraft could achieve speeds of up to {{convert|29|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} on the water, it could not take off, and on January 2, 1909, one of the floats filled with water, causing the ''Loon'' to sink. It was recovered, but rotted in a nearby boathouse.

A replica of the ''June Bug'' was built and flown in 1976 by [[Mercury Aircraft]] of Hammondsport.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hell-Rider to King of the Air: Glenn Curtiss's Life of Innovation|author=Kirk W. House|page=84}}</ref>
