This spotless Albatross is hands down the best-looking aircraft in Hans Lauridsen's collection. He acquired it in 2008, and painted it as Coast Guard 7238 in 2013, even though it never served with them. It is in fact former US Navy Bu131904. The real Coast Guard 7238 was ex USAF SA-16A 51-7238, c/n 325. As far as I am aware, this Albatross hasn't flown at all since being painted in these markings.

This aircraft served with the US Navy as UF-1 131904, renamed HU-16C in 1962. Later it became civil as N7026X, N904G, N9131 and then N216HU as seen here. Although painted as a Coast Guard aircraft, it never served with them and the serial 7238 is fake.

In a former life this aircraft served with the US Navy as UF-1 131904, renamed HU-16C in 1962. Later it became civil as N7026X, N904G, N9131 and then N216HU as seen here. Now she is part of the Lauridsen Aviation Museum and has recently been painted into this stunning Coast Guard scheme. However, it never served with the USCG and the serial 7238 is fake.
