"Rough Seas" by Bryan Snuffer 7218 was an airframe that flew from CGAS Miami, known as "The Goat" by those who crewed her. This is an open edition run and each is signed and numbered by the artist. This print was modified in its appearance to display on the Pterodactyl Roundel. This print is a 13x19 Giclee featuring a short excerpt from CAPT. Peter E. Prindle, (Ret.), reading: "The Grumman HU-16E Albatross was built in the 1950s, and was the offspring of the JRF Widgeon my dad had flown in WWII. Powered by two 1425 R-1820 engines, it cruised at 120 with a redline of 200 knots over a range of nearly 3000 miles (Coast Guard HU-16E 7255 still holds the several records for an amphibian aircraft, including a speed record of 201 knots, distance record 0f 3100 miles, and altitude with payload of 29,500 feet.) The usual crew was two pilots and a radio operator in the cockpit, and a Plane Captain/Drop master in the cabin, which had ample space for passenger seats and cargo to accommodate 35,700 pounds at maximum gross weight. The Coast Guard has always referred to the HU-16 as "The Goat," perhaps because of its unique aroma of sweat, AVGAS and various lubricants." There is also a detail on the right side of the print about the artist. It reads: "Bryan is an artist from the West Michigan Area that paints with a great love and respect for the US Coast Guard and their mission. The USCG has for many years put their lives on the line to keep our coasts safe. They willingly plunge themselves into danger to save the life of a total stranger. We will forever be grateful to the men and women that serve in the US Coast Guard for their hard work and consistent dedication."
