Hemisphere Dancer is the name of singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett's personal seaplane. A Grumman HU-16 Albatross flying boat, serial number 137928 and civil registration number N928J, the aircraft is central to the action in Buffett's best-selling memoirs, ''A Pirate Looks at 50''. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of an Albatross, due to the restoration and continual maintenance completed by Buffett. ==History==
This aircraft began life on August 22, 1955, as a long range search and rescue platform for the U.S. Navy.〔(The Grumman Albatross Web Site )〕 The largest member of the storied Grumman 'waterfowl' series of amphibious airplanes, the Albatross remained in service with US forces until the mid-1970s. After it remained inactive for a number of years, Buffett purchased the aircraft in the 1990s and restored it.
