This HU-16 was one of several aircraft involved in the search for missing crewmen from the USCG Cutter White Alder. On the night of 7 December 1968 the White Alder collided with a freighter on the Mississippi River just south of Baton Rouge. All but three of the crew were lost. I took this slide late the next afternoon while the Albatross was being refuelled. This HU-16 was originally built for the USAF as 51-7218.

Operated by Pan American Airways from July 1955 through October 1963 as Clipper Winged Racer, and later as Clipper Yankee. Interesting that at this point in 1967 the Hermans Hermits had The Who as one of the warm up acts! In the slide the a/c is being loaded up as the bands had their concert the night before.

This DC-6 made an emergency landing at KBTR after hitting trees on approach to the airport in New Orleans, LA. in heavy fog the day before this slide was taken. New Orleans is about 50 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Note the damage to the wing leading edge from a tree. There also was extensive damage under the fuselage, including a gash running from the wing to the tail. Additionally, the number four engine was damaged and was shut down and feathered, as can be seen in the slide. They were lucky to walk away uninjured from this incident.

This DC-6 made an emergency landing at KBTR after hitting trees on approach to the airport in New Orleans, LA. in heavy fog the day before this slide was taken. New Orleans is about 50 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Note the damage to the wing leading edge from a tree. There also was extensive damage under the fuselage, including a gash running from the wing to the tail. Additionally, the number four engine was damaged and was shut down and feathered, as can be seen in the slide. They were lucky to walk away uninjured from this incident.

A frequent visitor to Baton Rouge back in the late 1960s. I think it had one of the nicest civilian paint schemes that I had seen for a DC-3.
