| J Whalen , MA | Originally designated S2F (and Tracker when it carried a huge, teardrop shaped radome on top), and affectionately known as "Stoof," this one was converted to a utility aircraft, hence the designation "US." Designed to operate from carriers as a ship-to-shore transport. Although getting in short supply now, the Stoof is popular as a fire bomber in the US Forestry Service. Manufactured by Grumman Aerospace Corporation, Bethpage NY. 10/02/2001 @ 18:22 [ref: 3305] |
