This Albatross was originally built as a SA-16A and was TOC with the USAF in 1953 as 51-7228. It was then transferred to the Coast Guard, becoming 7228 and a UF-1G. Around 1957 it was converted to an UF-2G, which was in September 1962 redesignated as HU-16E. It served at USCG Air Station Annette, AK and USCG Air Station Miami, FL (possibly others). By 1980 the plane was part of the National Naval Aviation Museum Loan Program at NAS Pensacola and four years later was transported to the New England Air Museum, where it is now on outside display.

This Albatross was originally built as a SA-16A and was TOC with the USAF in 1953 as 51-7228. It was then transferred to the Coast Guard, becoming 7228 and a UF-1G. Around 1957 it was converted to an UF-2G, which was in September 1962 redesignated as HU-16E. It served at USCG Air Station Annette, AK and USCG Air Station Miami, FL (possibly others). By 1980 the plane was part of the National Naval Aviation Museum Loan Program at NAS Pensacola and four years later was transported to the New England Air Museum, where it is now on outside display.

On display at NMUSAF. The Model G-64 Albatross was a successor to the Goose. The USAF showed an early interest for SAR after the prototype flew on 24 Oct 1947. Originally designated SA-16A by the USAF with 297 aircraft ordered, it flew more of these amphibians than the USN. The improved HU-16B had an increased wingspan and larger control surfaces. USAF Albatrosses served in the Korean War and Vietnam War. This HU-16B was the last operational USAF Albatross, setting a world altitude record for piston twin-engine amphibians of 32,883 feet on 4 July 1973 before being retired to the museum.
