Believe it or not, but I would LOVE to own an albatross that would be amazing. My wife would divorce me of course.Might I suggest that a Grumman Albatross might be a good boat for you. Jimmy Buffet had one.

It would be a loss to lose your wife...but if you own an Albatross, unless you got a turbine modded one, you would be better off marrying a radial engine specialist...Believe it or not, but I would LOVE to own an albatross that would be amazing. My wife would divorce me of course.
Yep... even a helo can bounce off the water.... but it's much harder to tell what you did versus the wave as helos would just love to roll over if you don't keep some uplift on.Are there turbo Albatross? I flew a Turbo Mallard once. Did you know you can bounce a seaplane if you really screw up the landing?
So true...it was tough when I flew in the USCG.....it changed a lot.I'm not a pilot but I've worked with a lot of them and the biggest difference I see with some personalities is the inability to improvise. Not saying all pilots have this problem but it seems to me that with aviation the FAA has very strict guidelines, procedures, and checklists. The marine world generally has ten ways to accomplish any particular task. Of those ten, two or three are sub par but get it done, five or six ways are pretty acceptable, and one way is the one and only way it should be done according to the grumpy old man on the dock screaming at you. Of course that one way is different depending on which old fart happens to be standing there at the time.

I am with you on the Albatross. Had a great photo of (I believe) the last 7 USCG departing on their retirement flight out of Airsta Miami (Opa Locka). They left the week before I was transferred there in 1979.
Like the HH-52 Sea Guard helo.... just about the last of the amphib aircraft. While their amphib cababilities were becoming less important with time.... landing on the water was always a hoot! When saving someone.... I know a lot of people think their job is great.... but that made the water landing on a lifesaving mission something magical about the job. Something very few people did in more recent times.
Beauty to me is way more than looks....boats included.....
