- In April 2015, the 61-year-old amphibious aircraft landed at Duncan Aviation’s Lincoln, Nebraska, facility to get fitted with its new interior-or, more accurately, an interior.
Absolutely beautiful interior work. Both classic and somewhat modern. Perfectly blending the military and marine roots with a just the right touch of modern & traditional designs.
pulling up in one of these to a business trip is such a flex
I got to go inside this plane in Sand Point, Idaho, truly a beautiful restoration inside and out. The nicest Albatross I have ever seen, like a new airplane!
Is it still there in Sandpoint? Going to North Idaho on a trip soon.
I have 30 years experience as an aircraft maintenance engineer, may I come and sweep the floors for you guys!!!
That was an awesome installation.
Absolutely stunning, I would love to own a plane that beautiful. I would hold on to it till my dying breath.
That's gotta be the pride of Duncan right there...
RUclips needs a 'wow' button :).
Amazing....
they also need a "cha-ching" button....
The cost of that interior probably exceeded the original cost of the airplane. I hope the cockpit got the same treatment, as also seen on the zinc chromate bare interior. Awesome.
I'm sure you're right. Wondering if this was being done for a private client? Beautiful job, either way.
Excellent film footage and soundtrack. This project appears to have been well planned.
Was just talking with a customer about this and then it showed up in my feed. So cool.
That's because your phone was eavesdropping on your conversation with the customer.
Fantastic work. I used build and worked in a Cabinet shop and also after that doing maintenance at Salt Lake City Airport the one that we just replaced. I love seeing people that care about doing great work do it with love. Especially on such a wonderful Aircraft. 😁👍
Thats the most beautiful video of aircraft restauration in the human history.
That's a nice looking interior
This is a super job. I would love to fly it once.
I mean..... what words can you even choose for this? Stellar, Epic or Beautiful??? Just a calm silence to soak it in.
OMG. This is astronomically beautiful. That's it I am going to buy this seaplane and live on it till I die.
Perfect in every way.
A rare thing to see. Good job.
Sharp. Duncan Aviation doesn't take the cheap way out.
beautiful interior.
Absolutely Gorgeous
Not the layout I'd chose, but a no holds barred restoration. Gorgeous.
Simply Stunning! Well done!!
The Albatross Has Always Been One Of My Favorite Planes (I Don't Know Why) & All Commenters Can Call Me Crazy, I Don't Care Because I Know We're Talking About Millions Of Dollars But I'd Rather Have One Decked Out Like This, Than A Brand New Citation . . .
Yeah, they know how to do it in Lincoln. Charles Lindberg learned to fly in Lincoln.
Am I the only one that noticed the flooring clearly said "Not for aircraft use" ?
It was just temporary flooring for construction.
No, You're Not. That Was The First Thing I Noticed & I Said The Exact Same Thing You Did, To Myself . . .
Just temporary till they put real flooring
Clearly a temp floor, why throw the new floor down when there’s that much traffic and material being hauled around
What a fantastic ride she has to be!
Nicely done. 👏🏻
They are not building verhicles that beautiful these days.
Truely Epic, ready for many adventures
the most amazing interior !!!!
Sweet!
Out of the Extraordinary!
My dream plane
Absolutely stunning! Could anyone tell me what the overhead compartment in the aft section of the aircraft is for? Thanks!
She's so pretty I can't wait to start living my dream as a pilot of one of these beauty's.
I would love to some Albatrosses outfitted for straight passenger service like a few were for Chalks.
Amazing, gorgeous work, but I have to say, only 4 passenger seats?
Yea sure. One for the tropical island despot, his trophy wife and two rug rats.
Excelent !
wow i have flown in mallards but this is luxury
Beautiful work! I do have a question. The floorboards have huge red lettering that states “NOT FOR AIRCRAFT USE” Did somebody miss something?
Nice. But why keep the old Captains chairs?
so cool
Now I know what they will do to my Albertross when I win the lottery and buy one
I'd like to see a 'tinyhouse' version of this. Maybe with a 'tinyboat' that it carries with it too! And modern turbo prop engines.
There's PT6 conversions of Albatrosses out there. As for the "tiny house" part, that's about as niche as you can get in the aviation world. While I also think it would be cool, it's not terribly practical. This is really a two-pilot kinda plane, especially if you have your family in the back and are traveling any kind of significant distance. That alone kills the back-country flying and floating RV plan for a lot of people, unless your partner is also a pilot or you have a really good friend that would fly right seat. The biggest issues are probably cost and safety. The former is incredibly high, and the latter is dubiously uncertain. Also, at this point I think all of these are flying under the experimental exhibition category, which is *NOT* the same as experimental amateur built and is significantly more restrictive.
If you just want something you can cruise to some remote location and chill for a few days, that already exists. I've seen one of these that was less visually beautiful but had a layout that made a lot more sense, and it had two bunks, a couch, bathroom, and a small galley area. Flying RV? Kinda. An actual replacement for a house? Nope.
B-E-A-utiful!!!
Why no bathroom ?
I have a lot of time in this bird but none of it was in anything like this! As one fella says: "It's the ultimate man cave".
Wow👏👍
Woah...
Is she still flying?
damn bro this shit fire
Now for THOES turbo props...only a fraction of noise as the jugs
Anybody knows how much does one these cost?
It can be found for around $350,000 : cbaviation.com/1951-grumman-albatross-hu16b-n866ha/
Maybe put some carpet strips down the middle?
Super🎉
I saw my dad his name is Nick Dahlberg
neat
Plush interiors like this are nice, but I would hate to deal with all of it on a heavy airframe inspection, aircraft are not motorhomes which stay together until they're scraped, some poor mechanic has to remove all that stuff to do a proper inspection.
yep and Im pretty sure the engineers of this retrofit, outlined removal and installation procedures for the owner, as per FAA
it his job blue sky
👍👍👍
Pass 35 / 40 chair
Another good video ruined with musc
Nice to see an Albatross coming back to life. Shame with puke-colored interior though...
Excellence 💯✔️❤️
