The Grumman Albatross Web Site - Let Us Never Forget September 11th 2001
and
Have joined together to meet all your Grumman Albatross needs.

HU-16.com will continue to provide historical research information as always. The long term goal of a complete, definitive history of the Albatross remains and our partnership with SeaPlane Operations will only serve to further that endeavor.

SeaPlane Operations is positioned to support every aspect of your Albatross operation including Aircraft Acquisition, Training, Crews, Parts Sourcing, Technical Documentation, Ferrying, Film Work and more

Beginning in June 2010, HU-16.com & SeaPlane Operations, LLC will be presenting the Grumman Amphibian Fly-In. This event is slated to bring together the largest and most diverse gathering of all types of Grumman Amphibians on the West Coast. Our past experience with the Boulder City Albatross Training Seminar and ongoing operation of the Clear Lake Splash-In (Now in it's 30th year) uniquely positions us to make this THE Grumman event to attend.

Welcome to the Grumman Albatross History Site

  • The site is undergoing an overhaul and new information is being added/updated. Please look around. This will be an ongoing process, so please be patient and come back often. In the short term there are going to be a number of missing photos, broken links and old menus. I am working very hard to correct these as quickly as possible.

  • If you have any comments, suggestions, corrections, etc, please send them to me at ray@hu-16.com

  • All the data I have accumulated over the past years is being continuously compiled and databased with the long term goal of publishing a comprehensive, accurate history of the Albatross in book and/or electronic database formats.

    • As a side note, my current research material consists of almost 3000 documents that consume almost 20 feet of shelf space.

  • The timeline for publication of the results of this project is being left open ended until I feel I have adequate data to ensure that the final product is as complete as I feel it can be.

  • The number of open questions is still very large, but is shrinking steadily due to input and assistance from throughout the world.
