A through the wire photo at the Specialised Aircraft yard outside Tucson AZ, the C-131D is 54-2814 ex 150thTRS NJ ANG, and the HU-16C is believed N7026N ex Bu.No 131905 based at Naha, Japan.
Seen during an AMARG tour in May 2008, 'glass cockpit' C-141C serial 67-0027 last operated by the 756th AS / 459th AW AFRC out of Andrews AFB MD awaits her fate.
A telephoto view of the unidentified HU-16 Albatross which appears to be close to a complete restoration in the Specialised Aircraft yard outside Tucson AZ.
Believed to be Grumman TU-16C Albatross formerly USN Bu.No 131917 now N7024Z. Snapped from the fence of the Specialised Aircraft compound just outside AMARG in May 2008
This former USCG HU-16E Albatross was based at USCG Mobile, she was originally a USAF SA-16A. The '3' which is visible on the tail fin is very unusual.
Located at the Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park in Cordele, this is the only survivor of the 118 B-29A Superfortresses converted into the Renton F-13A photo-reconnaissance model.

Another view of HU-16E 1275 and my favourite photo of her, I love the way in which her paint scheme and added stencils have faded in the sun and have been sand-blasted during her long years in the desert. I think she was retired in the early 70's.
This Grumman Albatross appears to be HU-16C Bu.No 137924 now civil register N7028C, she entered MASDC July 1967, last operated by the USN out of NAS Brunswick. Believed scrapped a year after this photo taken.
Nearing complete restoration, this is believed to be HU-16C N7026C ex Bu.No 149836 last based at Patuxent River. Taken from the fence line of the Specialised Aircraft compound just outside AMARG in May 2008.
