Carson City, Nevada was a centre for civilian Grumman Albatross owners for many years, with several maintenance contractors specialising on the type. During 2010 there were seven Albatrosses on this high desert airfield, including HU-16B N3395F (c/n G-146) stored in faded USAF markings "0-10067". Photo: Russell Legg
