The first U-16 in Spanish AF service came from the USAF in 1954 and formed two SAR units, one covered the area around the Canaries and the other in the Ballearics. The type was finally retired from service in 1979 and replaced in the SAR role by C212 and P-3s. This example is on display at the Museo del Aire.

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.

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.
