                                                    The Restoration of N330LL   Page 1

Following our visit to AMARG and surrounding area in Feb 08, I was contacted by Sean Scott, he is the proud owner of Grumman HU-16E Albatross Coast Guard 1275 c/n G323 (N330LL) that was residing in United Aero's yard (Allied), Tucson, AZ. The aircraft was on our map in SAM's yard, but on 20th Oct 2008 it was moved into the United yard and has since in Jan 09 moved into the Western Yard.  Sean is undertaking the project to restore the aircraft back to flying condition and we hope to follow its progress.

History (if you can add more please let us know)

            1962 Re-designated as HU-16E Albatross
Last service with US Coast Guard at San Juan, Peurto Rico
     Aug 1979 Arrived at Davis Monthan AFB, AMARC for storage given park code 42030
Moved into Specialized Aircraft Storage Yard, Tucson AZ (former Bob's Air Park)
31 Oct  2007 Registered as N330LL to Sean Scott for restoration to flying

This is the aircraft when it was first purchased and registered in October 2007.

Sean looking out of the nose hatch

This is looking back from the Navigator's station. 23 years of dirt, dust, dead animals, and YUCK..

The dirty cargo bay

This is looking Forward from front cargo bay, into the flight compartment. (HUGE BIRD)!

Here is the (RIO) Radar Officer Station or Radar station located: front Right portion of Forward Cargo Bay.

Standing at the rear back left of Cargo bay where you first enter the aircraft. I got here cleaned up after (6) weeks of work. April 2005

Removing Radar Nose cover ( Radome)

Here is the same Radome, but rebuilt with the latest epoxy resin Diamond Tough, Bullet proof yet ultra light weight, well; sort of... May 2nd 2006

Here, I have just replaced all the original equipment which will be put back into service after I have up graded the internal workings, looking better?

Sea Rescue platform added

The aircraft was moved in October to the rear of the yard (the DM end) and will move into the Western Yard in January 2009
