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 Albatross was originally built as a SA-16A and was the first frame to be modified (in (January 1956) to SA-16B standard. In September 1962, it was redesignated as HU-16B and had been SOC by 1979. It was then designated as part of the NUSAF Loan Program and transferred to Chanute. With the sad demise of the museum the frame was in line to be scrapped.
