Definitely an S-2, not the C-1 or E-1. You can see the bomb bay door under
the airframe. Rob -- Support www.HonorFlight.org Show a Vet that you remember. |

... S2F-1 I have over 100 launches and landings in S-2s. VS-31 and VS-27. Always good to have matching number of launches and landings. Rob |

Rob I remember a speech by a submariner... but what he said can be translated into aviation terms as: "The fundamental equation of aerodynamics is number of take-offs = number of landings. Get it wrong and you're in trouble. Get it wrong by more than one, and you're a genius." |
