Key West:  NAS Key West, Boca Chica Field  A-4  March 2013 - This the most southerly gateguard in the the Continental US.  The photos were taken from the ramp that hosted the airshow and the Skyhawk is sitting in front of the Operations Building.  Persons like myself that were not military or military dependents stationed at NAS Key West had to stay behind the fence.

Kissimmee:  Kissimmee Gateway Airport  S2F, C-1A  July 2010, 2021

The first time I visited S2F 136534 at the Kissimmee Gateway, FL airport was in July 2010. The aircraft at that time looked to be in reasonable shape for being stored outside.  My return visit in July 2021 told a totally different and sad story.  The aircraft looked derelict, highly weathered, and the props had been removed.  In other words, 136534 is currently in very sad shape.

This is 136534 in July 2010.  The aircraft is in relatively good condition.

This is 136534 in July 2021.  It has been moved from its previous position on the ramp.  The wings have been folded and the propellers removed.  For the wings to be folded, an engine would have needed to be running, unless an external source of 3,000 psi hydraulic pressure was supplied.  The propellers would also have been on the aircraft at the time of the engine run-ups.  The bombs on the wings were also removed.  The Tracker was deregistered in 2018.

Also located across the ramp from the Tracker 136534 is Trader C-1A 146029.  This is the first time I have seen the aircraft, which was previously stored in Tom Reilly's former hangar at the airport. I was told at Warbird Adventures that it had a broken spar.  The Trader looks to be in very good condition, indicating it has not set outside very long.  With a broken spar, it is unlikely it will ever fly again.  However, it would make an excellent static display in a museum.  The aircraft was deregistered in October 2013.

Sanford: Airport   RA-5C  July  2011

Originally the A-5 was a high speed attack aircraft with the unusual feature of the bomb bay opening being at the rear of the aircraft, as pictured here.  This also presented some embarrassing incidents when the bombs popped out the back of the aircraft during catapult launches leaving the ordnance on the carrier deck.
