"The Tracker" at the Museum
At
the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton Ontario Canada.

are currently introducing MS FS2004 into the museum's
education program and a volunteer of the Museum , Mr Martin Mclean
, who head the project and is collecting aircraft significant to
the museum, asked the permission to use the Grumman Tracker
virtual model to represent in the Fs2004 simulator the real
example of the aircraft present at the Museum.
We at Fs2000.org are proud to have been of help in
this praiseworthy project.
The real Tracker obtained by the Canadian Warplane Heritage is RCN
serial number 1577 and construction number 76. It was accepted by
the RCN on December 10, 1959. It was not assigned a new serial
number (12177) as most Trackers were when the Canadian military
branches were consolidated as the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968.
Instead 1577 was sent to the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace
Technology & Engineering (CTSATE) at Canadian Forces Base Borden
on January 14, 1970. At the CTSATE it carried instructional
airframe designations A732 and 732B. When the airframe was
surplused and sold into the civil market it was assigned civil
registration C-FUDH. The Canadian Warplane Heritage obtained the
airframe in late 1997.
