Grumman E-1B Tracer or 'Stoof With A Roof' Bu.No 148133 coded 'NS-13' last operated by VAW-111. She entered MASDC on 12th July 1973 (which was my 15th birthday!) and was sold to Consolidated Aero Corp nine years later. Must have been interesting to fly!

A fence side visit to the UAC scrapyard outside Tucson AZ early Sunday morning, this was a tight telephoto shot of seven Grumman S-2 Trackers in a line. From the very faded '819' code on the nearest Tracker I believe she is TS-2A Bu No 133201.
