I was a C130 Mechanic US Navy at Pax River VQ-4 1980-83 I heard these beauty's coming down the flight line, I just dropped what I was doing for a minute to listen to the music,😮 ❤
In my suqadron VC5 we had three of these. I swear as i recall the port engine eas started first. Perhaps our S2FC models had a different procedure. Thanks for the video.
I remember my first boat det on the Ranger in 1980 and watching C-1's from VRC30 deck launch, what a sight, almost a exciting as the F8's tanking off in full Afterburner.
I flew in Triple Nuts (000), also called Lone Ranger Airlines. In October, 1969, I flew off the ship to visit my father at Tripler Army Hospital. The pilot taxied all the way aft, lined up on the center line of the angle, ran the engines up and then released the brakes. No need to lift off, he just fell of the end of the angle. Scared the hell out of me. It was my first and, unfortunately, last take-off from my ship. A year earlier I had arrived aboard Ranger in a C-2 Greyhound. Trapping was like getting kicked in the butt.
Was a bit scary for me when we dropped off the edge of the angle deck taking off and I was looking up at my shipmates on the edge of the deck an they were standing there looking down at me. Makes you kind of start rocking in your seat to help it gain altitude.....
Come on guys…..read the manual. You have the wing spread only half correct. Those guys on the wing tips need to be close in to the wing juncture to make sure a locking pin does not deploy prematurely. If one does they would signal to the nose man who would have crew reverse the spread. This action would reset the system. If you bust a pin with a shark tooth your grounded.
My dad spent 18 year driving S2's, And got lots of time on the C1 also. He came to visit us in Rexburg, Idaho and we went the local air museum, they were just rolling out (fresh from an engine check) their C1b. Turns out my dad had made a few mail runs in it!
I saw one of these in Breckenridge, Texas in around 1993. It was not pained yet, and it was so loud that the Air Boss told the pilot he could not fly it until the oast day of the Airshow. It wa called "Crud Missile". That name was spray painted in big black letters on both sides of the fuselage.
I saw one of these crash killing all onboard in the Philippines in 1979. It took off from Clark AB going to Subic NAS. The left engine went dead and the pilot turned left. The aircraft then did a wingover and crashed into the ground. It didn't catch on fire but was stuck in the ground up to the wing leading edge and the fuselage broke off and the tail landed about 30 feet away from the wings. The crash was unnecessary because you never turn into a dead engine. It never ends well. 🤠
Worked on the US-2A and US-2B in 1974 and 1975 before the reserve unit at NAS Lakehurst New Jersey shut down the air operations section. They were so wonderful and I gained an intense love for those 1820's. Never got to fly in them, but it was still better than the H-3's I had to work on after the S-2's were gone!
Well not a bad video, but waited to see if it was going to take off & never saw it - what a shame, a big plane like that - what a show that would have been!!
They didn't take off that day. They were going to fly it during the weekend if everything checked out. Haven't had a chance to check back and see if they did. It would have been the first time it flew since it got there several years ago.
They're doing some amazing work their at I74 Urbana OH. I'll talk to the main guy who works on the C-1A. I believe he has an extensive background working on these.
As others have commented, the camera work here is very sloppy, at best. So much so, I opted out of this in less than just a couple of minutes. A shame - this is one of my favorite aircraft and I would love to have seen more of it. 🫤

I worked on these at VR-30 Alameda. Still love 'em!
Excellent. Love that plane, the sound and the visual effects that the propellers give. Thanks
Flew from NAS Cubi Point to USS Midway on one. After launching our A6'S. Good flight it was.

Good info - probably learned through experience. I'll ask them about it - will avoid a costly and time consuming mistake.

Wow!
I was a passenger on a c-1 deck launched off the Enterprise during workups prior to a Westpac in 82 .
I can’t get over how huge those engines are!
"Mudflap Girl", busted up laughing when I read that!
VAW-115 '92 - '94

I really hope this old hero can fly again like before.
I saw them recover and launch a C-1 with the catapult when the ship was at anchor on USS Independence.
I got launched off the USS Kitty Hawk in one of these in January 1979. Most fun I ever had.

Great camera work, it made me see sick just to try to wat h. Also did the pilots even know how to operate this plane?
That kid is me
Flew off the eisenhower for a joy ride and came back, only a passenger.
Or known as a S-2 Tracker. The predecessor to the S-3 Viking
Love the old birds and appreciate the video, but I was seasick after 1 minute from the camera movement 🤢
Yep - it was a crappy video. Lesson learned to always carry the gimbal.
If that one had been refitted with turboprop engines WOW!!
Still has a tailhook....interesting.
Is this the Tracker Mark Henley landed in a corn field after experiencing engine problems?
No, the C1-A that landed in the corn, is now based in Oklahoma City and is currently flying the Air Shows. It should be at Sun N Fun in a few months
Where's the takeoff footage? You missed the best part!
They didn't take off that day. They were going to fly it during the weekend if everything checked out. Haven't had a chance to check back and see if they did. It would have been the first time it flew since it got there several years ago.
Will this old man fly one day again?
If we wait, we will understand this
You have to find former Naval Crew Chiefs ,who know this Aircraft ,to assist your staff.
They're doing some amazing work their at I74 Urbana OH. I'll talk to the main guy who works on the C-1A. I believe he has an extensive background working on these.
Invest in a tripod. The camera movement is distracting from the subject.
Was the person holding the phone or camera drunk?😂
Cameraman musta been drunk.
Wing's aren't stowed
S2f?
A croire que les pieds pour camera n'existe pas....!!!! To believe that the feet for camera does not exist....!!!!
If you can't hold the camera still, don't shoot the video.
Camera person needs a tripod 🤨
13 Minuten Theater ! -.-
Wait. A civilian can own one of these 🤓
They can indeed. The museum also owns a B-25 Mitchell, a Douglas B-26 (A-26) Invader, and is rebuilding a B-17.
All that time just to see it taxi a hundred yards? What a waste of time..
Had to stop watching maybe next time pick someone to hold the camera who doesn’t have to pee
Primitiv
