Мировая Авиация 145

Последним военным оператором Albatross была Греция - самолеты из подразделения 353 Mira в Элефсисе использовались в качестве патрульных и поисково-спасательных. Хотя это подразделение входило в состав ВВС, оперативное руководство им осуществляли ВМС. Ныне эта эскадрилья летает на P-3 Orion. Albatross были официально сняты с вооружения в 1996 году, но один самолет в варианте РЭБ использовался до конца 1997 года.

Of 13 Grumman Abatrosses converted to G-111 standard for commercial operations with Chalk’s International Airlines, Miami, one (N42MY) is still in active service in Florida. Based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, this converted HU-16B belongs to the Aviation Division of Mirabella Yachts, a company that owns and operates a number of exclusive yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Modifications to civilianise the Albatross to G-111 standard include the fitment of titanium wing spars and outward opening access doors. The G-111 was acquired to carry guests to and from its boats, however, to maximise its usage, it is also available for charter work. Two other amphibians operated by Mirabella Yachts are Albatross N28J and HU-16C N43846 (137908). The latter is resplendent in US Navy markings.
