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.

This HU-16D was on outside display at the museum from 1977 - 1981. It was recalled by the US Navy, registered as N8523H, and went to the Smithsonian Institute for scientific operations. 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.
