File Description:
Grumman Albatross HU-16 2.1; Greg Pepper Michael Verlin; US Marines UF-1 137900; MCAS Iwakuni 1961-62.

My thanks to John Detrick who repainted this aircraft for the Virtavia FSX version of the Albatross. His repaint served as source material for my repaint. I have been unable to find any photographs of this aircraft. According to the information from John's repaint, this was the only Albatross in Marine colors. It was stationed at Iwakuni during the period noted above.

The paint scheme is Engine Gray, International Orange and Black and White. The lettering is in the Long Beach USN font, in common with US Navy versions of this aircraft.
