| This
stunning set of photographs show the record breaking HU-16
s/no. 0-15282 landing back at Watson Island, Miami after setting a new world
altitude record for twin-engine amphibians having reached
32,883 feet on 4th July, 1973. These images were taken by Lt.
Col. S. Bruce Olson, USAF Ret and have been exclusively donated by his son, David Olson.
This aircraft was retired and flown to the USAF Aviation
Museum two weeks later, where it is currently on display
today.
My grateful thanks go to both of them |
