EDITORS COMMENTS
"This striking photograph captures the Grumman UF-1G Albatross 7247, with the registration number MSN 336 and former identification number 51-7247, on display at the main gate of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Air Station in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The UF-1G Albatross, also known as the "Gooney Bird," was a twin-engine, propeller-driven aircraft primarily used by the USCG for search and rescue, maritime patrol, and transport missions from 1945 to 1972. Retired from active service, this particular Albatross, 7247, was preserved and placed on display at the USCG Air Station as a tribute to the aviation and aeronautical history of the USCG. The aircraft's distinctive silhouette, with its high wing design and large radial engines, stands proudly as a reminder of the vital role that the Grumman Albatross played in the organization's mission to protect and serve the coastlines of the United States. The photograph, taken circa 1998, captures the essence of the Albatross's enduring presence at the air station, with the American flag flying proudly in the background and the USCG insignia emblazoned on the aircraft's fuselage. The image is a testament to the rich history of flight and transportation in the USCG and the importance of preserving the legacy of aircraft like the Grumman UF-1G Albatross."
