Hello, this is unrelated but might interest you. I just found out the hemet base gives tours. All you need to do is walk up and ask for one. They do it all day except lunch time. Thought you might find it interesting!
have a good one

I would love to see a USN S2 Tracker version done too! NC
That would be great if you do! Thank you for that information NCI have about 60% of the exterior model designed up for an S2F-1 Navy model. Might turn into something in the future
Oh thats cool! Im trying to get out there sometime soon and go down and visit.Definitely related. I got my first tour there in the mid 90s. Toured the S2As and DC-4s. I've been out there hundreds of times since, volunteered there for a bit and now have friends that fly the Trackers and the Firehawk out of there. I'm building the Hemet base on the side. Pics are spread out previously in this thread.
Haha yeah someone around here started the rain dance and never quit. Keeping the S2 nice and dry in the hangar. With all this rain the vegetation is growing thick. Once everything starts drying out around here this fire season may be a rager and im sure the S2s will be plenty busy come summer!
Work has been slow going with the kids and hunny do's. Hoping to dive into this soon and wrap it up. Fire season is a nice goal. I want to make sure its done right I wish I could be in it full time.
Any updates sir, Fire Seasin and contract has started.
My hope is to have it released sooner than that, but I cant express how excited I am just for that aerial fire fighting addon. Hopefully you can place fire wherever you wish and attack them.
I'm more excited about this coming platform than I was for 2020. Largely because of the fire and rescue aspects they are adding. And from the consensus around this S-2 and any of the other additions coming along should be ideal if it's able to place fires where ever. Or someone figures a way to actually do that, or fight real fires based off of their weather data stuff. From some other developers I follow it says that all aircraft from FS2020 will be compatible with the new sim an there wouldn't be a need to repurchase anything. It will be exciting to follow and see what the official word is from Flight Sim Expo in a few days.
