Grumman HU-16 Albatross (N120FB) - KCXP - photo from the late 80s early 90s, there used to be a few HU-16 style "Albatross" planes parked at Carson City, NV. Here I snapped 'Chalk's" float plane - I don't know if this was a maintenance base or if someone based at this Airport was restoring old HU-16s..I have a few others here I'll have to dig the negatives out for digital conversion.
