Sea Control Squadron Twenty One "Fighting Red Tails" S-3B Viking

     Sitting on the arrivals ramp at AMARC in December 2004 just a couple of months from the official disestablishment of the squadron is S-3B 158872 was the 20th S-3A to roll off the Lockheed assembly line. Later in life she was converted to a S-3B and finally serving forward deployed with VS-21 on USS Kitty Hawk in Japan. 

     Here is a quick walk around prior to preservation starting. The only visible changes are the addition of the AMARC production code AN2S0067 to the nose and rear fuselage.
