The Grumman HU-16 Albatross, a large twin-radial amphibious flying boat, and Hemisphere Dancer once made headlines. There is no wonder why legendary singer and songwriter, the late Jimmy Buffet, decided to purchase this aircraft due to its awesome features.
However, the singer once needed a criminal attorney, since Jamaican police shot at the Grumman HU-16 based on the suspicion that the singer was transporting something illegal.
