On 25 April 1972 this HU-16E was flown from CGAS Mobile and landed in the parking lot next to the USS Alabama. I took this slide in September 1972 and it shows the original markings it wore when retired. Originally built new as USAF s/n 52-129.

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.

In 1989 it was bought by Island Flying Boats, Miami, FL. In early 1992 it went to Air Crane, Inc., Opa Locka, FL, and in June 1992 it was exported to Mexico.

This was the last HU-16 on active duty with the USN. It was on display at the museum from 1977 - 1980. The USN then recalled it, registered it with the FAA as N693S, and loaned it to the Smithsonian Institute for scientific duties. Eventually disposed of by the US Navy, it was last reported displayed in a lake at Universal Studios, Orlando, FL.

Slide taken while Chanute AFB was still active. This was one of several a/c on display around the base. After the base closed it became part of the Octave Chanute Museum. Unfortunately when the museum closed in 2015 51-7200 did not find a new home and was scrapped.

This is former Norwegian Albatross 51-7203/WH-C. The aircraft became surplus in the Scandinavian country from 14 January 1969 and was delivered two months later to 353 MNAS 'Triena' at Elefsis. The Albatross was named Ἥφαιστος (Hephaistos) with the Diikissi Aeroporias Naftikou (Greek Naval Aviation) and flew up to 1995 after which the final Greek HU-16Bs were retired. 203 is preserved at its homebase from April 1997 onwards.
