One of the most versatile aircraft in former US Navy inventory, the Grumman S-2F Tracker was known and loved by a generation of pilots that flew it. A jack-of-all-trades, variants of the Tracker were used as COD aircraft, patrol aircraft, anti-submarine bombers, radar platforms, and radio intelligence units while in service. Combining range with performance in a small aircraft, the Tracker was perfect for its ship-board duties as it featured folding wings for storage below decks.

Today many Trackers are still being used around the world. In the US, many airframes are used as fire-bombers in an effort to control the yearly attack of forest fires on America's parks and forests.

The S-2F Tracker operated by the Collings Foundation is under maintenance and restoration by the hardworking and dedicated volunteers of the Collings Foundation in Houston, TX.
