The Sea Duck from Talespin is said to be an artistic combination of the Grumman hu-16 albatross, and the Fairchild C-82. The albatross is truly a marvel in engineering.

One of the most amazing airplanes ever built. Love them and being on one. Only distraction and shame was the white out of sun through the windshield.

My husband was crew chief and flew these off of Guam, 1969 -71.

It doesn't have the usual R-1820's, I can tell by the lower pitch noise of the prop. The HU-16 engines usually sound like a bigger angrier Beech 18 engines. I'd say they were the engine models similar to those in the Grumman Tracker and Super DC-3.

JMSDF get 6 UF-2 in 1961 as rescue-utility aircraft and retired them in 1976
sadly, in 1965, one of them crashed in training flight and killed 7 crew.

Seems like a lot going on in the cockpit...I thought one guy could fly it.

well, there's a rather longish foreplay (about 3:20 minutes) before anything happens. Could have cut some of it.
