This S-3A was seen during its approach for a touch and go at NAS Miramar. The aircraft was retired to AMARC on 9 October 1991 and received inventory code 2S0015. Although the US Navy tried to sell the low-flight-hours S-3s to the US Coast Guard and as a cheap maritime patrol aircraft for countries like Brazil, Philipinnes and South Korea, sales never occured. Nearly all left Vikings are stored in the desert up to date. At the time of this picture, VS-33 was assiged to Carrier Air Wing NINE on board the USS Nimitz (CVN-68).
