After retirement by the USN this S-2 was ferried to MASDC in Feb. 74 andstored under 1S0447. After three years it was rescued from the desert by the Turkish Navy serving until 1994 and subsequent display at the Turkish AF Museum.

The S-2F carried search radar in a retractable radome in the belly, a retractable MAD boom in the tail and 32 air-droppable sonobuoys in the rear ends of the engine nacelles.

A very smart-looking Tracker, withdrawn from use in 1994.

Outstanding exhibit at the Turkish AF Museum, where recent improvements include the laying of an artificial grass-like surface. One of about 30 ex-USN Trackers delivered to Turkey and serving till 1994
