The prototype tanker version of the Neptune, known as the "Firestar" (N701AU ex-Buaer 145920) entered service in 1988.
Conversion involved removal of the Neptune's Westinghouse J34 auxiliary turbojet engines and other military equipment,
and the installation of a fire retardant delivery system consisting of a 2,000 US gallon capacity tank weighing 700 lbs
and two computer controlled, electro-hydraulically actuated dispersal doors. This arrangement allows for the delivery of
precisely metered flow rates from 50-700 US gallons per second. Computerized digital logic allows the pilot to select
the retardant coverage level and quantity to produce the required drop pattern, resulting in drops that are continuous
and uniform in density, with no overlaps or gaps

VW-1, NAS Agana, Guam 9Jan67; code TE-7. Named "Road Runner" May67. Damaged beyond repair
during accidental landing gear retraction during engine run-up at NAS Atsugi, Japan 25Aug70.
The aircraft was taxying out of Atsugi early one morning for a mission. During engine run up
prior to departure there was a brake failure and the aircraft ended up on the rocks that lined
the run up area for erosion deterrent. When the nose wheels struck the rocks the nose strut was
forced down and the nose strut seals blew. The aircraft was towed back to the line and nosed
into VW-1's hanger for repair. The cause of the brake failure was a blown hydraulic line.
The aircraft was jacked up and the nose strut was repaired. It was towed back to the flight line
after repair. The first engineer was at the chiefs barracks doing laundry and the second
engineer was going to do a run up and have the aircraft ready to depart. Unfortunately the
check list was not used; as number 1 engine starter was engaged, the landing gear handle was
still in the gear up position (Put in that position to unlock and partially retract the nose
gear in order to repack the nose strut ). As number 1 engine started to turn so did the
hydraulic pump; the right main gear started to retract. The aircraft had been fuelled for
a mission so it had a full wing. The right wing hit the concrete ramp and the tip tank
ruptured; 600 gallons of fuel was released. The 3A tank also ruptured and an additional
565 gallons of fuel was flowing onto the ramp. As the right wing struck the ground,
the left wing is on an upward arc and as it came to the top of the arc it snapped like a
whip and off came the tip tank also rupturing the 2A tank, so now there were 2330 gallons
of fuel on both sides of the aircraft and spreading very quickly. The fire department was
called for ramp wash down which lasted a long time. When the ramp was reopened, airbags were
brought out, the wing was raised and the right gear was lowered and locked. The aircraft
was stripped of all essential parts and scrapped by VQ-1 at NAS Atsugi, Japan 3Dec70.

Modified as WC-121N Jul66. Named " Draggin' Lady " May67. The starboard wingtip tank and
three-foot section of wing were lost during the penetration of tropical storm "Judy" near
Kwajalein Atoll 25Oct68; the aircraft made an uneventful return to and landing at Guam.
The crew gathered to be briefed on an assigned weather reconnaissance flight through
tropical storm “Judy”. The crew had made an investigative flight through the same storm the
day before and had found it small but growing. The plan was to penetrate at low level
(1,500 feet amsl), then to make a climb-and-ascent sounding in the eye, escaping at
the 700-millibar level (10,000 feet). The latest report (six hours prior) showed about
55-knot maximum winds. It looked like a routine flight. The WC-121N Super Constellation
lifted off from the Pacific island base and the storm was sighted at about 200-nm range.
After a conference between the aircraft commander (AC), combat information center
officer (CICO) and flight meteorologist (Metro) concerning the radar presentation and the
characteristics of the storm, they decided to proceed with their previous plan. At a distance
of 70 miles, the AC took a last look at the radar and then took control of the aircraft.
The cabin was checked and the crew briefed. The wind and turbulence became more intense,
so the power was increased to 2,600 rpm. The flight engineer was instructed to maintain
190 knots airspeed. Visibility in the darkness varied between zero to a half mile in and
out of the clouds. The CICO gave vectors to bring the aircraft to the storm eye. As they
approached, Metro, observing winds of 80 to 90 knots, recommended heading changes to
keep the wind off the port wing. At this time, the CICO's primary radar console failed,
and it was necessary to move to the secondary scope which had not been set up as a back-up
for the penetration. Reorientation of the scope, including a grease pencil sketch of the
wall cloud, proceeded with some difficulty, owing to sea return and clutter, but it was
accomplished in nine to 12 minutes. The heavy rain and turbulence continued until the
surface wind velocity decreased. Shortly, the wind became completely calm, then almost
immediately began increasing from the opposite direction. When the wind shifted, Metro
recommended a 180-degree turn in whichever direction was best. CICO advised that he had
heavy weather to starboard and called for a turn to port, then urged a hard port turn as
the wall cloud became visible on the radar. The pilot rolled the aircraft into a
20-degree-bank port turn and suddenly encountered the wall cloud turbulence. The first
jolt caused the aircraft to vibrate so severely that the AC believed he was experiencing
pre-stall shudder. Maximum power was ordered and set. As the aircraft rolled out on the
escape heading, another shock of equal severity caused the airspeed to vary by 50 knots
and altitude by 800 feet. The co-pilot came on the controls with the AC as the large
craft became almost uncontrollable. After about a minute, the turbulence and downpour
subsided. The flight steadied down on heading for a climb to 10,000 feet. The third
pilot was sent aft to check for injuries and damage. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
However, on his return to the cockpit, the third pilot observed blue sparks flashing
in the vicinity of the starboard wing tip. When the over-wing lights were turned on,
it was discovered that the starboard wingtip and the tip tank were missing. The wingtip
lights were secured and the other tip tank was emptied. No other difficulties were
encountered, but the aircraft required five-degree right aileron and three-degree left
rudder trim to maintain level flight. A normal landing was executed upon arrival at Guam
home base. Repaired and returned to service. To MASDC, Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ

The Brazilian Navy and Marsh Aviation Company signed Oct 20 2011 the contract for the conversion of four (out of
eight bought) C-1A Traders to the Carrier-on-Board Delivery/Air-to-Air Refuelling (COD/AAR) KC-2 Turbo Trader
standard. The first aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in April 2014 and the fourth and last in October 2015.
Another two aircraft are scheduled for conversion to AEW standard. The Turbo Trader will be used on board

Force landed 25Jan02 at Aurora Airport, OR. The aircraft made a normal take-off from Aurora airport
and leveled out at 4,500 feet. The first indication of trouble was when the propeller suddenly increased
in speed, to 2,500 rpm. The pilot turned back towards the airport and lined up with the runway.
Approximately 30 seconds later the engine began vibrating badly and backfiring, whilst losing power.
Without enough power to make the planned runway, the pilot elected to perform a gear up landing short
of the airport (this is the recommended procedure for this aircraft according to the emergency checklist).
The landing was very smooth, the aircraft slid about 300 feet, there were no injuries, and only
minor damage to the aircraft.

147681 This plane entered service with the Navy on 2/25/60 based out of NAS Moffett Field, CA, with
Attack Squadron 192 (VA-192). While there it served aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard for a
couple tours, and then the squadron transferred to NAS Lemoore Field, CA in Jan 1962, and took
sea duty with the Bon Homme Richard two more times until the plane was assigned to NAS Lemoore
(with no squadron noted) on 3/25/65. In May 1965 it was assigned to MCAS El Toro, CA, with
HQ & Maintenance Squadron 15 (HMS-15), and with Detachment N it deployed on the USS Hornet
on 7/1/65 until 2/9/66 when it was assigned to NAS Atsugi, Japan. On 3/11/66 the plane
transferred to NAS Cubi Point, Philippines. On 4/9/66, the plane went on board the USS Intrepid
with VA-94 for combat over Vietnam. Later that month the squadron changed to the USS Hancock.
On 5/2/67 the plane was back at NAS Atsugi until departing for NAS Cecil Field, FL, to join
VA-34 on 10/3/67. On 1/8/68 the plane was assigned to VA-66, also at Cecil, and
deployed immediately on board the USS Intrepid for combat over Vietnam until ending
deployment on 4/16/68. On 6/5/69 VA-66 again deployed to Vietnam, this time aboard USS Forrestal
until August 26th when the plane transferred to VA-12 aboard the USS Shangri La for
operating over Vietnam. On 3/18/70, while still fighting the war in South Vietnam, VA-12
transferred to USS Independence. On 1/20/71 the plane joined VA-305 at NAS Point Mugu, CA.
On May 25, 1971 the plane was sent to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ as 3A0337 until the Navy
struck IT off strength in July 1974. It was then salvaged at NAS Fallon, NV, where a pilot
who had flown the plane in Vietnam found it dismantled a couple decades later. On Oct 23, 2012 he
acquired it for his personal museum at Wasta, SD, restoring it and marking it as it appeared
during the Vietnam War while operating off of the USS Hancock..

HQ & Maintenance Squadron 14 (HMS-14) at MCAS Cherry Point., and then assigned to Marine
Attack Squadron 225 (VMA-222) also at Cherry Point. In September 1962 the plane was redesignated
as an A-4C. The next assignment was Attack Squadron 94 (VA-94) at NAS Lemoore, CA, and
through 1965 this squadron deployed to Vietnam aboard four different aircraft carriers.
In 1966 the plane was transferred to VMA-211 at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, and deployed to
Marine Corp Air Base Chu Lai, Vietnam, for combat. While there it was transferred to VMA-121,
which was also deployed from MCAB Iwakuni. By the end of the year it was with VMA-223 at Chu Lai,
and then in early 1967 transferred to VMA-311 also at Chu Lai. The plane was then transferred
to VA-22 aboard the USS Ranger, and by the time it got back to the USA it was transferred to
VMA-214 at MCAS El Toro, CA. In 1968 the plane transferred to VA-873 of the USN Reserves at
NAS Alameda, CA. That September it transferred to VA-95 with the USNR, also at Alameda.
In February 1970 the plane was converted to an A-4L with new avionics in a spinal hump and
transferred to VA-204 (USNR) at NAS Memphis, TN. In 1976 the plane was finally removed from
active service and assigned to the Naval Air Technical Training Center at Memphis as a ground

destroyed after landing on its first hover test flight at NAS Lakehurst 1Jul86.
A power loss was noted on the #3 helicopter. Prior to mooring, a gust of wind
from the rear of the aircraft induced some movement across the ramp. The pilot
attempted to takeoff but the undercarriage responded badly to this, the
bogies shimmying uncontrollably causing ground resonance with the helicopters.
The vibration was sufficient to cause a structural failure as the Helistat
finally lifted off; the helicopters broke off from their mountings and fell
to the ground.

propeller torn off and the outboard propeller damaged by flying debris, the aircraft was seriously
damaged on impact. The ten man crew were uninjured but had to live in survival shelters for 80
hours until the weather improved enough to allow a rescue plane to land. Recovered after being

148802 (MSN 581387) HMM-362 "Archie’s Angels", South Vietnam 1965-67. HMM-362 "Ugly Angels",
South Vietnam [Oct68]. Written off October 11, 1968 in a mid-air collision with CH-46A 151917
at Hill 52 north of Song Vu Gia River, Quang Nam Province, South Vietnam [5KIA].
The CH-46 took off and began climbing out in a steep ascent with its nose pointing south
toward An Hoa. It was a clear, sunny day with a few scattered clouds high in the sky.
At about 800-1,000 feet, the CH-46 came up underneath UH-34 #148802 which was flying
overhead on a similar heading. It appeared that each helicopter was in the others blind
spot and that no visual contact had been made between them. They chewed off each others
rotor blades. An orange fireball and black smoke erupted from the rear of the CH-46.
There was a series of quick clacking sounds and a muffled explosion as the blade parts
were sent flying in every direction overhead. The two aircraft, momentarily, just hung there.
Then the CH-46, its aft end burning and smoking, began tumbling end over end toward the ground.
The UH-34 simply nosed over, the weight of the big radial engine in its nose causing it
to plunge straight down like a dart. The aircraft impacted on a sandbar which extended
out into the Vu Gia river. The UH-34 hit first, sending up a towering eruption of bellowing
fire, white smoke, and streaking shards of red flame. The CH-46 quickly followed,
close by, on the same stretch of sand. The aft section, with the engines, split away
from the forward half of the aircraft and was a burning heap. Black greasy smoke plumed
high into the sky. The forward section did not catch fire. The UH-34 was burning white hot;
so intense that it was impossible to get near it. Within a few hours the wreckage was
reduced to a surprisingly small mound of gray ashes, making the retrieval or identification of
human remains virtually impossible.

148809 (MSN 581396) HMM-362 "Archie’s Angels", South Vietnam 1965-67. HMM-362 "Ugly Angels",
South Vietnam [Sep67 to Oct68]. Registered as N2253A; cancelled 9Nov00. Destroyed 25May00
at Buhl, Idaho. The helicopter, registered to and operated by Thomas Helicopters,
collided with power wires near Buhl, Idaho. The aircraft was destroyed by a post-crash fire.
The flight originated from a staging area about five minutes prior to the accident.
In a written statement, the pilot reported that he had just taken off from the staging
area with 320 gallons of a diluted water mixture that contained 6.25 gallons of a
concentrate mixture of Di-Syston 8. The pilot was flying the same flight path to the
field as the flight before. This was about the sixth load of the day. The pilot reported
that along this flight path, he had to fly over some television and radio antennas,
and two sets of power lines. The power lines were the last obstacles along the flight path.
The pilot reported that prior to crossing the power lines, he was distracted by a radio
call from another pilot. The pilot looked down at a map to verify a field location,
and when he looked back up, he did not see anything unusual. The helicopter then
collided with the power lines that were the last known obstacles along the flight path.
The power lines were approximately 75-100 feet above ground level. After the collision,
the helicopter pitched nearly straight up, leveled slightly, then fell to the ground
in a tail low attitude. A post-crash fire consumed the helicopter.

A power loss was noted on the #3 helicopter. Prior to mooring, a gust of wind
from the rear of the aircraft induced some movement across the ramp. The pilot
attempted to takeoff but the undercarriage responded badly to this, the bogies
shimmying uncontrollably causing ground resonance with the helicopters.
The vibration was sufficient to cause a structural failure as the Helistat

Departed 8May98 to Western International, Tucson, AZ.. Registered as N104BS.
Reregistered 11Feb03 as N611CK; current [Jul18]. On September 1, 2012, the helicopter struck a
tree while conducting firefighting operations. The pilot flying was in the left seat, and the
senior pilot was in the right seat. The pilot completed numerous water drops on the fire
during a 2-hour period. The helicopter was making its second drop in an area of steep terrain,
which was about 1,000 feet lower in elevation than the lake the pilots were using for a water
source. Due to the smoke, the visibility was about 1/2 mile. All five main rotor blades made
contact with a snag (typically the remnants of a tree such as the trunk and/or main branches
without most of its foliage), and were substantially damaged; the operator pointed out that the
snag was similar in color to the smoke. The senior pilot took control of the helicopter,
climbed, and made an uneventful landing near the fill point. On August 4, 2015, the helicopter
struck a tree while conducting firefighting operations. The aircraft descended into a
confined area to pick up water with its snorkel. None of the pilots on board had seen the
tree in their final approach . The rotor blades struck the tree at the 5 o’clock position.
The pilots felt a shutter and recognized they had hit a tree. They aborted the approach
to the water and found a place to land safely away for the fire. There were no injuries
reported by the pilots.

To AMARC as 9H0085 Nov 7, 1994. Departed 8May98 to
Western International, Tucson, AZ. Registered 29Oct98 as N105BS. Reregistered 28Aug04 as N612CK;
current [Jul18]. On January 18, 2006 the helicopter lost power in both engines and rolled
over during a hard forced autorotative touchdown on a road 28 miles northwest of Ely, Nevada.
Croman Corporation was operating the helicopter. The flight departed Winnemucca, Nevada,
en route to Page, Arizona. Both pilots said that as they neared the area of the accident
site the flight had to maneuver around areas of bad weather. The helicopter was at 80 knots
and 200 feet above ground level (agl) following a road while maneuvering around weather when a
loud bang was heard and both engines suddenly lost power. The flying pilot entered an
autorotation and managed to get the helicopter onto the road. The landing was hard and
the main rotor blades flexed downward and damaged the empennage, then the helicopter rolled
to the right. The pilot said that just prior to the loud noise and the dual engine failure,
the engine instrument indications were normal and the fuel gauges were reading around 1,500
pounds in each tank. The fuel system was configured for normal operation; the number 1
engine feeding from the forward tank and the number 2 engine feeding from the aft tank,
with boost pumps on and the crossfeed valve closed. The engine and airframe deice/anti-ice
systems were on and functioning, and no annunciator lights were illuminated concerning
any of the systems elements. The helicopter's Federal Aviation Administration approved
and issued Type Certificate Data Sheet states that flight into known icing conditions is
prohibited and notes that "the helicopters approved under this type certificate are done
so under the concept of limited exposure associated with escape from inadvertent ice encounters."
The anti-ice/deice systems on the helicopter consist of a combination of electrically and
bleed air heated elements protecting the windshield, the oil tank mounting ring,
engine air intake ducts, engine inlet guide vanes, starter cover, and the front frame of
each engine. In addition to the anti-ice systems, an engine inlet ice deflector shield
can be installed in front of the engine inlets to prevent any accumulation of ice and snow
that forms around the upper deck and mast area ahead of the engines from entering the
engine inlets. According to company Director of Maintenance and the subsequent examination
of the wreckage, the optional engine inlet ice/snow deflector shields were not installed.

On August 11, 2001 the helicopter, operated by Silver Bay Logging, sustained substantial
damage when a steel long-line broke while lifting logs. The accident occurred on Etolin Island,
about 12 miles southwest of Wrangell, Alaska. During a telephone conversation with the NTSB
investigator-in-charge on August 14, the director of maintenance for the operator related
that an American-made steel cable, approximately 200 feet in length, broke about 60 feet
above the load of logs the helicopter was lifting. The 5/8 inch cable contacted the helicopter's
main and tail rotor blades. The helicopter was able to make an uneventful emergency landing
after the crew detached the remaining cable and felt excessive vibration. Postaccident
inspection disclosed substantial damage to the main and tail rotors. Two main rotor blades
and the tail rotor blades were replaced.
