Grumman S2-A, S2-E, CP-121 and Conair Turbo Firecat for FS2004
designed by Max Taccoli

The Tracker is an antisubmarine aircraft whose mission is to search and attack enemy submarines. After the world war II, to search and anti-submarines and attack aircrafts, U.S. Navy adopted the tactics to work in groups of two carrier aircrafts; one of which is a searcher with radar equipments and another is an armed attacker. Among them were the carrier aircrafts powered a single engine, such as the Grumman TBM-3W/3S Avenger and the Grumman AF-2W /2S Guardian. Around 1950, the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation newly designed a twin engine carrier aircraft that can fulfill two missions of search and attack simultaneously. The maiden flight of the prototype was made on December 14, 1952 . this was the Grumman XS2F-1 Sentinel, an antisubmarine search and attack carrier aircraft. In February of 1952, U.S. Navy started to use this aircraft carrier and designated it the S2F-1 Tracker.
