I have to wonder, how many tires did they have to replace after that smoker?

Well, it could be Boston but the tall building in the right foreground with the pointy roof looks very much like the Smith Tower in Seattle, WA.

Why has no one identified this aircraft as a Grumman HU-16 Albatross?

My money says this is a Lockheed F-80 rather than the T-33. The cockpit canopy is too short to be a T-bird as is the distance from the leading edge of the wing to the leading edge of the air intake for the engine. Otherwise the two airplanes look pretty much alike. Lockheed put an 18 inch long plugh in the fuselage and extended the canopy to create the T-bird from the F-80. The photo isn't clear enough to see the nomenclature on the side of the fuselage which would give all the pertinent info needed for a proper I.D. That is IF the restorer put the correct info on after repainting the fuselage.

I love the way they've improved the looks of the Goose with all new glass, especially the front windscreen. The original "Raised Eyebrow" look of the original was a bit off-putting. The plane flew with a perpetual astonished look about it. It looks like it may have been uprated with R-1340 engines. Does anybody know for sure. Back when I was just a 16 years old kid in the Civil Air Patrol Cadets (1955) I got a ride in the Gooses smaller brother, the Widgeon. What a wonderful experience!!

Good shot of a triple seven landing on the north end of the runway at Paine Field near Everett, WA. From there it'll most likely go to one of the clean, paint and seal hangars for it's livery colors.
