Spent many hours walking those wings in the USCG as a HU16e flghtmech in the 70s. They were a great bird to flyin and I loved doing engine runups and smelling the oil/avgas burnin, and the bass rumble bouncing the coffe in my cup. Flying/working on a Goat was one of the best of my memories of my 5 years in the CG, along with my time in the HH52a after they began fazing out the Goat.I love it that someone is still flying an OL, Goat, you go girl, fly high and proud !

Actually I believe this is a G-111, which is a HU-16 upgraded and modified for use as an airliner after it's release from naval and AF service.
