EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman G-111 Albatross, specifically the aircraft with the registration number N116FB and manufacturing serial number 460. Formerly known as UF-2 148325 in the United States military and JMSDF 9052 in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, this Albatross was later operated by Chalk International for flight training and demonstration purposes. The Grumman G-111 Albatross is a versatile, twin-engine, turboprop aircraft that was initially designed for the United States Navy as a carrier-based, long-range maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare aircraft. Its distinctive V-tail design and large wingspan made it an iconic figure in the aviation world. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Albatross saw a second life in civilian hands, with companies like Chalk International utilizing the aircraft for flight training and demonstration purposes. The image captures the N116FB in its vibrant Chalk International livery, adorned with the company's logo and colors. The photograph, taken circa 1990, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Grumman G-111 Albatross and its diverse roles within the aviation industry. This iconic aircraft, with its impressive capabilities and distinctive design, continues to be a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike.
