Grumman HU-16 Albatross - John Proctor - Sea of Cortez Landing - Boat In The Sky - US Navy

This video is an excerpt from a longer video of the 1995 Punto Chivato Albatross, Skywagon Club fly-in. The Albatross is landing in the sea of Cortez and taxied into the harbor at the Punta Chivato Hotel, Baja California.
This is the first landing of the Albatross in the ocean. John Proctor does the the landing, takeoff and early manuevering with Joyce Proctor piloting the plane while pulling John in a dingy behind the Albatross.
Even though the water is warm, John is freezing from the prop wash of the Albatross. From here the Proctors left to fly to Loreto, Mexico to refuel
This rare footage is before John left on his historic round the world flight, perhaps around April or March of 19895.
Many thanks to Jim Densmore who brought this to our attention.
