✈️ The incredible Grumman S-2G Tracker 844 / VH-NVX straight from a pilot’s perspective!
To the best of our knowledge, this is the only original Anti-Submarine Warfare equipped S-2 Tracker still flying anywhere in the world today. While a few S-2T conversions and some C-1 Traders are still around, seeing this historic aircraft in action is something truly special.
You can witness it up close at the amazing HARS Aviation Museum a place where aviation history truly comes to life.✈️
If you love aircraft, history, or unique experiences, this is one stop you won’t want to miss.
