I flew in the HU-16s while I was in the US COAST GUARD during the 1970s out of Elizabeth City, NC. This AC has had the radar and loran C stations removed as well as the radio rack with all of the Electronics. I was an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician), and flew many hours on the old Goats. There is/was one at Pensacola Naval Air Station static display that was from Elizabeth City Airstation. I had flew many hours on it with Master Chief Greathouse, enlisted pilot.

The two planes I need to fly in before my time is up; the Albatross and the Goose. Awesome video...

I was a flight mechanic in the usaf we made a water pick up of a navy pilot doing the vitamin war in 1966 near Hanoi

Wasn't expecting to see the bird I always see while teaching students down in KKLS! Glad to see it's in better shape inside than I assumed.

@VMCAviationVideos 3 года назад

It's in really good shape

I was blessed at work being allowed to do fisheries patrols over Georges Bank and The Gulf of Maine in one of these. I flew in them from 1977 until they stopped flying and were replaced with a jet. Nice flying in something that had a bilge pump!

The Grumman looks like it is in good shape. Does a private company maintain it?

@pilototraidor 4 года назад

Yes it is a very nice interior and cockpit

I lived Miami in the 60's near the Opa Locks airport Coast Guard station. They would fly their Albatrosses over our house before landing. They sometimes (not every time) were so loud they would scare my mother to death.

Haha, poor mother.

If I bought this, the first thing I'd do is blend the front window to match the contour of the nose. Right now, it looks like a snot bubble.

Photos would nave been a whole lot better with additional light source. Sun shine on the Captains control wheel just doesn’t get it. 😢

So what’s behind the two doors in the back? Is there a bathroom? Couldn’t you open the door so we can see it???

@VMCAviationVideos 4 года назад

One of them was the washroom.

@Glidescube 2 года назад

I hate it when the airplanes have missing dials and makes you wonder what they took out

@rangefreewords 2 года назад

Eh, hahaha, maintainers tagging! I will gladly take out your instruments! Let's see a Glass cockpit, touchscreen breakers, the whole 9!

@rangefreewords 2 года назад

What does it sell for? $5 million or less. Needs interiors and avionics, new engines, and put 3,000 of them in the sky. #make it great again.

@yellow1612 2 года назад

Does it have oxygen supply
