Beautiful plane

Este avion es la donamatura de fer de lis cielos.

Great footage - thanks for sharing. Love the sights & sounds; nice filming! Imagine those landings doing SAR in the open ocean back in the day with seas going several feet high. The Albatros was certified for wave heights of around 9 ft plus if I'm correct. For take-off in these conditions JATO was needed. Awesome plane & great video. Thanks for taking us onboard 👍

Amazing video. “Home sweet home”

Nice Video. Everything in 10 minutes: Take off, water Touch n go and, finally, rwy landing. Per definition an amphibian flight

I was in line for a ride in Terry Smiths here in Anchorage

Wow... My best friend, Nice video... Beautiful place Enjoy watching this video... Have a nice day.

Why have you not had any recient videos of you kolby ultralight?

Nice touch and go! And some incredible scenery as well.

I want to buy this plane as soon as possible. Is it for sale?

Fantastic video, thanks heaps for sharing.

Awesome, thanks for sharing 👍

A tinyhome in an airplane. Awesome! I love all the Grumman boats, and this one is exceptional.

Beautiful flying vessel

Very beautiful. But dangerous. In case of engine stop no chance to land

Thanks for not dubbing in a music track. The aircraft makes it's own.

Ba ha ha miss you 👋🏻

My husband flew these in the Navy, off of Guam, 1969-71.

Neet , something really its like a rv.

this old but great plane is well maintained

Is it just me, or does the landing gear on this thing appear flimsy as hell?? I suppose if it's primarily designed to land on water, and use the gear to taxi up the ramp then it's adequate. But putting this plane down hard on cement in a gusty crosswind? Yikes.

This is the coolest video on the internet

Awesome flight 👍

You said it is a two pilot plane what makes the difference between one and two pilot planes

What is he doing when he reaches for something to the right of throttles an moves or jiggles something that seem to increase RPM??? Is that the prop condition lever? Don’t think so, though he does push what I think is condition levers in full just after touch and go. Curious what all he’s doing with overhead controls.

Does he ever fly it by himself? He seems extremely experienced

Great video. When I was a kid my dad flew these for the USCG at Air Station Kodiak.

When I was a boy I would spend hours at Baltimore's Harbor Field with my best pal Tony. We would watch the activities at the field from the old Broening highway bridge or down by the hangers and the boarding area. A cast iron fence between us and the aircraft on the runway. Unimaginable in today's world! I can still hear the Albatrosses adjusting throttle and prop pitch as they climbed out in my memory. Watching the video brought back memories and filled in what happened during flight. You have no idea how I miss those days!!

Love the old PAA colors on the plane, and the pilot does work for every take off and landing, WOW.....great video of showing how active he is !!!! Got more Albatross videos ?????

CT Connecticut? Are you sure? This plane is to American: Language, Borders, Culture, for the democrat socialist/Islamofascist that occupy the full GUN registration state of CT.Love the sound of the engines as the throttle is pushed forward on takeoff.

Nice video. That flat lever next to the right throttle lever, what is it?

That footage was shit hot! How cool's that pilot, "Tom" . You lucky bugger Maurice and fellow cast members. Stick & rudder flying. What a fantastic machine. Seeing that has made my day! Maurice, you should complete the credits. That would do Tom & his Grumman justice. Someone needs to update the Top 10 list of things to do in Danbury to include, visiting the Municiple Airport to view the Albatross. In my book it would be worth the 19 hours I would have to spend in a 777-300ER. Good work again Maurice

You are flying this thing all the way, NO easy Cessna flying shown here......

What a airplane and this sound ooooo man!

Was Tom the owner of this beauty a pilot for PanAm (I think I know the answer).

miss my coast guard days for sure !!! now i know why my hearing is bad >> lol wish i knew the numbers on her !!

Excellent! Nothing else sounds quite like an Albatross on takeoff. In the early 1960s I would sit in my classroom at Port Royal School in Southhampton, Bermuda and watch and listen to the newly designated Coast Guard HU-16Es and Navy P-5Ms takeoff and land in Great Sound. My ears would always perk up at the sound of an Albatross and I would wonder if my dad was aboard.

😄*{"HEY.! MR.CASEY.!"} Good to see you flying your Beast.! I hope to have mine up in going this year.! Best wishes and I hope to see you again.! *{"CHEERS"}*.! And best Wishes.!

Noisy........................huh. Are ya gonna strap on some JATO....just for kicks?

330 000 - 380 000 USD.

It depends on the year, condition, and hours flown on it. A quick google search can provide you with some Hu-16 listings.

how much does a HU-16 cost?

Such a great video of an even more bad ass plane! Those 1820s sound awesome! I suggest watching the video or better yet flying this beast while listening to "Too Good Too Bad" by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts!

Hey John. how goes it?

Wow. Thanks for the film. This plane is almost as nice as my baron. Good seeing you guys.

That isnt a wood burning stove is it?

Yes, Its a Grumman Albatross
