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.
