Albatros N99HU looks a bit bleak, but it has a long history. Orginally built for the US Navy as a PF-1A with BuNo 124306, it served with the USAF after being delivered as 49-0082. It was sold to Brazil and served with the Brazilian Air Force as FAB6537 between 1959 and 1980. It became PP-ZAX and was seen in open storage at Campo de Marte in 1991. Became N99HU on 4 October 1994. Carlisle is a small airport in rural Pennsylvania and this Albatross was first reported here in 2007.
