Noseart Question
Thu Nov 16, 2006 9:06 pm
With seeing all these pictures of various aircraft with noseart, does anybody have any pictures or recall seeing any noseart on Grumman S-2's while they were in military service. We have kicked around ideas of putting something on ours but we need to know if any had it before we do it.

I can't say about S-2s but the C-1A most always had artwork representing the carrier they were assigned.
The Forrestal's C-1 was the "Happy Hooker" and had a heart with a tailhook going through it. The Saratoga's C-1 had the Fighting Cock insignia. I'll post a photo of the Saratoga's COD which my step-dad flew tomorrow.
