    The two planes I need to fly in before my time is up; the Albatross and the Goose. Awesome video...

    This plane looks well kept and beautiful! Always wondered what they look like inside.

    Wasn't expecting to see the bird I always see while teaching students down in KKLS! Glad to see it's in better shape inside than I assumed.

    I flew in the HU-16s while I was in the US COAST GUARD during the 1970s out of Elizabeth City, NC.
    This AC has had the radar and loran C stations removed as well as the radio rack with all of the Electronics.
    I was an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician), and flew many hours on the old Goats.
    There is/was one at Pensacola Naval Air Station static display that was from Elizabeth City Airstation.
    I had flew many hours on it with Master Chief Greathouse, enlisted pilot.

      Amazing range (4400km) but pretty slow. Is there a better plane of similar size that can land in choppy water/rough seas?

    I was blessed at work being allowed to do fisheries patrols over Georges Bank and The Gulf of Maine in one of these. I flew in them from 1977 until they stopped flying and were replaced with a jet. Nice flying in something that had a bilge pump!

    I lived Miami in the 60's near the Opa Locks airport Coast Guard station. They would fly their Albatrosses over our house before landing. They sometimes (not every time) were so loud they would scare my mother to death.

    If I bought this, the first thing I'd do is blend the front window to match the contour of the nose. Right now, it looks like a snot bubble.

      What does it sell for? $5 million or less. Needs interiors and avionics, new engines, and put 3,000 of them in the sky. #make it great again.
