Here, this VS-71 Tracker has remained mercifully free of the dreaded Spraylat. She was one of those with a new career ahead. Having arrived at DM in 12.74, she went on to the Venezuelan Navy in 5.81 as AS-108, the last of eight supplied (6 in 1975, 2 in 1981). They were replaced by ASW version of the C.212 and put into store at naval air base Puerto Cabello.

The 'RZ' tail code was that of VR-21 based at Barber's Point NAS, HI. Aircraft arrived at MASDC in 10.76 and registered N810CS in 1990; eventually ferried to Fairbanks AK by Everts Air Fuel in 5.99 and placed in store where she remains in ex-USN marks

Built as an RC-121D and progressively updated as EC-121D, then EC-121H and finally EC-121T. Retired to MASDC in late 1978 by the Homestead AFB-based 79 AEW & CS, with 20980 hrs recorded. Later broken up

This Dagger entered storage under the Arizona sun in 1973 and still wears the marks of the 57th FIS from its duty in Iceland in this 1979 photo, but went on to enjoy a short new life being shot at as a PQM-102B drone after conversion by Sperry just six months later

This AFRes/302TAW Provider, heading a line of six, was placed into store at DM on 29.6.80 and scrapped in 2013

Ah, the colourful days of the USN... the last USN Tracker squadron, VS-37, was disestablished in 1976 when the S-3A Viking took over the ASW role. 152806 was one of their aircraft and arrived at MASDC in 2.75 and seemingly has since been broken up like so many others

Last serving VP-69, earlier units included VP-65 'PG' and NARTU North Island '6H'. Arrived MASDC 2.75 and out to Bob's Air Park 8.87 for eventual reduction to spares
