S2F-2 / US-2C 133381, 1996
Updated 12-27-2016, thanks to flickr member vesto haas:
Forrmer US Navy Grumman US-2C Tracker, 133381.
The enlarged weapons bay indicates that this is an S2F-2 / S-2C, many of which were converted to US-2C utility aircraft.
The colors and markings on this aircraft are consistent with the US-2C, but to the best of my knowledge, the AN/APA-69 antennas were removed from the upper/forward fuselages of most US-2C aircraft. However, that antenna appears to remain installed on this Tracker.
See comments below. Again, thanks to vesto haas!
