Bugger. That was not supposed to be in there. I'm going to have to ask that any one who saw this remove and eat their hard drive straight away. National security, you know!

Just what Harry said. Back in the day every time I'd see some kind of cheepo gag box like that I'd snap up a few and velcro 'em in to the cockpit someplace out of the way. A stress reliever for the guys. The bird dog and Securite Civil guys really liked 'em because they were fitted with a whelan siren/loudhailer and could broadcast sound effects in flight- zooooommm-ratta-tatta-tatta-boom-shut up Beavis! comming from the airplane as it ripped past. Good clean fun untill the wheels up stairs caught wind of it

Heres some pictures from Steve Whitby of the S-2As from Hemet. I guess they depict life and death

lazarus - Okay, I as you requested, I ate BOTH of my hard drives. I thought about it for a few minutes and then went ahead and ate the rest of my computer, too. A couple of questions: 1. Now how do I run FS9? and 2. Do you ave any TUMS?

Thanks for the update on the paint kit. It seems everything is coming together about the same time. We appreciate your efforts.

Milton,

Will the S-2T be the modernized ASW variant that was flown by Argentina?

Do you have one?

[HorusJ]

Mine would be these simply because of the colors, US Navy trainer scheme(my favorite military AC types(trainers)).

I'm hoping/wishing to see these colors on the projects Tracker in the future

Interesting how the fuselage is bulged behind the cockpit windows to fair in with the window, as opposed to the earlier style.

Yes, Jan Visser reminds me as well :-)

Great shots everyone. Keep them coming to feed the repaint ideas.

That's the US-2A variant. Basically a S-2A made into a utility aircraft.
