S-2T Argentina

São Paulo, September 2002.

 

An S-2T Turbo Tracker of the Armada Argentina on board the Brazilian carrier NAe São Paulo. Two Trackers were deployed during Temperex, a joint Brazilian-Argentinian exercise.

 

2-AS-24 should still be in service in 2018, but will never fly from a carrier again. The Brazilian Navy has decommissioned her carrier in February 2017. The costs for maintenance and repair proved too high. :(

 

Note the name Mingão on the tow truck. That was the nickname of former aircraft carrier Minas Gerais.
