Big Har Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't believe that this aircraft has gotten it's dues here on ARC. I'll start with an S-2 and a E-1 on the deck of the USS Yorktown in Charleston S.C. 10/08. Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J.Stone Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Had no idea there was a S-2/C-1 thread. Anyway, here's field of Trackers near the St. Augustine, FL airport and the C-1 from VRC-40's 50th Anniversary celebration last July...

ian_maw Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Though a sort of discussion was started around the upcoming Kinetic Kit, ( I'll take a dozen!), and I was planning on adding most of these to the firebomber thread, I'm posting them here so others can find them easier. First up is an in service CP-121 I took at the Moose Jaw airshow a couple years before I found out I would spend 5 years actually working on Trackers in Summerside Back in 2005, I made it my goal to travel to all the fire bases in Saskatchewan where I shot these I'll see how well these civie schemes are recieved before i post more Edited December 21, 2010 by ian_maw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timvkampen Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My contribution: the website about the only aircraft carrier the Netherlands Navy had: the Karel Doorman. The Tracker served from 'the Fat Schip' with distinction from 1960-1968. In 1968 the carriers was taken out of service and the Trackers soldiered on until 1975. http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/html/vl...st__tabel_.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aweber Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Those are great photos of VS-20 birds and the Princeton! My dad was a pilot in VS-20 at that time and may have been flying one of those S2Fs at the time that the photos were taken. I have built several Hasegawa S2F-1 and -2s of VS-20 and am looking forward to building VS-20 Trackers using the Kinetic kit.
