24/09/2007: "KAPINGAMARANGI ....... seaplane from Guam"

It was a thrill flying in this seaplane to one of the most beautiful and remote, inhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Last year news footage from Florida showed a wing breaking off a similar Grummond Albatross Hu-16 aircraft, while in flight. No survivors.
