The Grumman HU-16 Albatross is credited with the rescue of thousands of
troops from coastal waters and rivers during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
The Albatross is an amphibian aircraft with the ability to perform a variety of
missions. It can operate with skis from snow and ice, from land, or water.
The prototype first flew on Oct. 24, 1947. The "B" version, with a 16 foot longer wing, was introduced in 1955.
The Albatross is probably best known as a rescue aircraft. However, most
recently, about 30 have been converted to tour and customized executive aircraft.
A total of 466 Grumman HU-16 Albatross aircraft of all types were produced.
