That would be a ton of blueprints!
I don't have a clue on where to start except for some of the museums... JT Ray S. & Nayda Katzaman wrote: Grumman Albatross Float plane Plans Does anyone know where I can get the blue prints/plans for the Grumman Albatross float plane? Any help will be appreciated. Ray Austin, TX ===

One is being built similar to Jimmy Buffett's Hemisphere Dancer (picture attached) that is parked at the Orlando, FL Margaritaville, the other is being built as the Sun and Fun restoration that I have attached. The idea of looking in museum archives had not crossed my mind and it is a good lead - Thanks. Ray Austin, TX ===

I spent a lot of time in these planes (S-16 version IIRC) island hopping in Micronesia in the 1969-1971 time frame. Noisy but very reliable. I thought that you had plans to moor one on Lake Travis...

It's a plane and it floats,BUT it is not a float plane. It's an amphibious flying boat.

You'd be dealing with LCRA on that one. And you'd still probably be SOL. BobbyG
