I was boating on Candlewood Lake, October 2nd, 2013 and had stopped for lunch on a small island when this aircraft flew overhead, then made a turn for a landing approach.
Note copilot waving as he passed by about 100 feet from me. Awesome!

Just came across this video--I don't live far from Candlewood Lake--wish I had been there!--I was lucky enough to have flown on the smaller Grumman Goose in the Virgin Islands decades ago

Spent a lot of summers at candle wood as a kid. First plane I got to fly in after I joined USN, was a HU16C

Painted to mimic a Boeing 314. Very cool.

Looks like the long wing version with aux tanks slung underneath the wings, that baby is set up to cover some distance.

Nope, not a long-wing. You can tell because the trailing edge is fully tapered. the long-wing's inboard extensions are square and not tapered, so it interrupts the trailing edge taper. The long-wing also removes the leading edge slats at the wingtips. Lastly, the long-wing's ailerons, rudder and elevator don't go all the way to the tips of the wing/v-stab/h-stab respectively because all of those surfaces are extended past the control surfaces. So she's a short-wing.

I Use to see them fly over my house everyday when I was a kid. The US Coast Guard had a fleet of about 10 that operated out of Opa Locka air base when the Cuban missile crisis was happening. I knew the sound of them big Wright's R1820'$ and I run out of the house every time just to see them. They don't build Aircraft like that anymore!!!

Oh my God!! This is beautiful!! I can't help but noticing that the livery of this Albatross is a nod to the one that the B314 Yankee Clipper and the M130 used to sport back in the days. Am I right? Thanks a bunch for posting!

That was the "neutrality" livery when we were supposedly neutral prior to entering WWII
