EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman S-2H Tracker aircraft, specifically identified as N52345A - 136404 (MSN 313). The S-2H Tracker, a versatile maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare aircraft, was manufactured by Grumman between 1959 and 1963. The image captures the distinctive features of this iconic aircraft, with its large wings, twin engines, and distinctive tail design. The S-2H Tracker N52345A, registered to the United States Navy, served valiantly in the fleet until its unfortunate fate on 3 May 2007. During a forced landing near Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station in North Carolina (NKT), the aircraft collided with power lines and terrain, resulting in its destruction. The image, taken circa 2005, is a poignant reminder of the S-2H Tracker's storied history and the vital role it played in the nation's defense. The aircraft, a workhorse of the U.S. military, was known for its ability to transport personnel, supplies, and equipment to remote locations, as well as its advanced capabilities in search and rescue, electronic warfare, and mine countermeasures. The Grumman S-2H Tracker, a true testament to American ingenuity and engineering, continues to be admired by aviation enthusiasts and military history buffs alike. This photograph is a tribute to the aircraft's legacy and the brave men and women who flew it in the service of their country.
