    Historical Background

    The Grumman HU-16 Albatross is a twin-engine amphibious aircraft, first flown in October 1947. It was widely operated by the US Air Force for long-range search and rescue missions, especially during the Korean War. Powered by two Wright R-1820 radial engines, it could take off and land on both water and land, with excellent endurance for over-water rescue patrols.
