C-1A Traders Listed in numerical order by US Navy Bureau Number The aircraft below were purchased by Brazil in 2011 and will be converted to turbine engine aircraft by Marsh Aviation in Mesa, AZ.
An October Update from Camilo in Brazil on
the status of the Traders.
"The Brazilian Navy and March Aviation
Company signed yesterday, Oct 20 2011, the contract for the
modernization/remotorization/reconfiguration of four (out of eight
bought) C-1A Traders to the Carrier-on-Board Delivery/Air-to-Air
Refueling (COD/AAR) KC-2 Turbo Trader standard.
The contract has a four years duration and
the first aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in April 2014 and the
fourth and last in October 2015.
The Turbo Trader will be used on board
Brazilian Navy Aircraft Carrier A-12 Sao Paulo (ex-French Navy Foch).
Click on the link bellow to see an
artistic impression of the KC-2 in BN colors. I don't know if this
is the official paint scheme. Probably just what it is, i.e., an
enthusiast artistic impression based on BN paint scheme standards."
