Milton Shupe's fantastic Grumman S2F-1 "Royal Canadian Navy" Tracker on a virtual dusk flight from McChord Air Base in Washington to Victoria in Canada. A great bird over a great scenery.

I got to ask, what is that thing sitting on top above the cabin?

 

This aircraft I have never seen before! Interesting....................:rolleyes:

Early model Trackers had an Electronic Surveillance Measures (ESM) pod mounted dorsally just aft of the front seat overhead.

Ahh! Fine choice of aircraft that. :cool:

There's one at our local airfield (Edenvale, Ontario) that will be incorporated in their soon-to-be-built museum.

 

 

Thanks for keeping it out of the water. With the miles of wiring on board that might have been a shocking conclusion. :eek: -- Bob

[peer01]

Thanks Bob for the comment and the great Tracker pic :)

Thanks Charlie for helping Rick, :)

Thanks Rick for your comment! :)

[Downwind66]

LOL, I thought you figured out a way to mount a roof top air conditioner like they have on motor homes! Oh well, Charlie's explanation makes sense.

 

Thanks Charlie, enjoy Jan!

 

Rick :cool:

Hi! Cuty plane, great pics, and a good flight. Not taking in account there was water along the way!

You should pay the beer at the bar! :):)

[peer01]

First: I told them you would pay my bar bill (being one of my closest friends) Second: If I have to avoid water, I have to stay in the Sahara.:mad: Third: Thanks! :)

 

This one is for you Gerard:

[flightsimg]

Well, Jan, considered the special effort you made over Paris, I could be your guide, for a modest fee :):), in the Sahara, I know very well. There indeed, to crash -- oh! pardon -- to land a plane into water, you would have to make a special effort. In terms of a bar, that might somewhat more difficult :)

[peer01]

Modest Fee?? :mad: You'll have a free beer on your own account! PAH!

[NMLW]

Nice flight in the Grumman Jan. Fine work with the shots of that pretty scenery and sky colors. :cool: :cool: :cool:

[mrzippy]

Modest Fee?? :mad: You'll have a free beer on your own account! PAH!

 

Free beer?? Count me in! :D

[peer01]

Thanks Larry! :) Ok, Charlie, also a beer on your own account! ;):D

[mrzippy]

Ok, Charlie, also a beer on your own account! ;):D

 

On account because I'm such a fearless, young airman or a real jovial person with a drinking problem?? Wait a minute...I don't have a problem drinking!:rolleyes:

[peer01]

Sigh....

[azzaro]

[peer01]

I was there when Gerard promised free beer for all! :eek: I'll testify this in the highest Court! :mad:

[flightsimg]

Never remember promising anything of sort! :mad: That's a plot!

[DAVIDSTRAKA]

Perfect flight and bird! :pilot:

[peer01]

Thanks very much David! :)

[kalizzi]

Nice shots Jan. Love the warm reddish tints of the sky, too. She is yellow, just don't get inspired by the Beatles track and make a submarine of it (in the best tradition of von Peerhoven's flying academy- landplanes into seas and seaplanes into land).

 

Best wishes.

That's all based on rumors and fake-news Khalid......;) Thanks for your comment! :)
