Queen's Day in the Dutch Caribbean, 1964. The carrier Karel Doorman was in port for maintenance and its S-2A Trackers from VSQ 4 were flying from Hato for a couple of weeks. 169, 166, and 146 are seen here. The fourth aircraft, 189, belongs to Curaçao-based VSQ 1 and is a Canadian-built CS-2A, lacking the characeristic ECM dome above the cockpit. Photo by: Hans Mol / Jaap de Moo r collection

This Tracker is ex US Navy BuNo 144725. It was stored at MASDC in 1980 and sold to Terrance Cosgrove in 1995 as N8115V. It is said to have sustained damage in a landing accident (brake fire?) at Wasilla, AK. It was moved to Big Lake in late 2000 or early 2001 and was stored there as a restoration project with props and fin missing. It was still there in similar condition by May 2012, but its current status is unclear.

Formerly 4113 of the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force and 136665 of the US Navy.

This former JASDF Tracker was acquired by Marsh Aviation for potential fire-bomber conversion.

Built for US Navy as S2F-1 Tracker for supply to the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force with serial 4127. On retirement, recovered to Hemet CA for possible conversion to tanker/sprayer, but this was not actually carried out.

Photographed in one of the scrapyards bordering DM.
