Not quite UF-2 is a US Navy designation and this one is clearly USAF property. Depending on date it is either a SA-16A (initial designation) or, more likely, a HU-16A. Possibly it was modified to HU-16B Stig

US Coast Guard Grumman UF-2G Albatross, USCG 7228 (ex- USAF Ser. No. 51-7228; c/n 310) is still extant. It is part of the aircraft collection at the New England Air Museum (NEAM) at Bradley Airport (BDL / KBDL), in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Here is a more recent photo of her (taken in August 2017) at the museum by Flickr user Howard Chaloner: www.flickr.com/photos/38998307@N05/36424721431/
