Grumman HU-16 Albatross
37º 22′ 05″ N / 120º 34′ 40″ W
Much has been written about this aircraft and pasting “Albatross” into the search window will bring you to some of it, as well as more photos of other HU-16s and their kin. Ungainly looking on the ground but beautiful in the air as well as on the water. Annual fly-ins for Albatross aircraft and pilots are held in Boulder CA (not CO) where type ratings can be obtained — which are required to pilot this aircraft due to its weight.
More information can be found at the Grumman Albatross History Site.
