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

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
Brazilian Navy Aircraft Carrier A-12 Sao Paulo (ex-French Navy Foch). The deal between Marsh Aviation and the
Brazilian Navy is now on hold because Marsh Aviation sold spare parts to Venezuela between 2005 and 2008
violating U.S. law (Arms Export Control Act) and the Department of State frozen all military deals of the company.

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.

147787 This plane entered service with the Navy ca.1960. By July 1962 it had been assigned to
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

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
buried by snow for 17 years in Antarctica. Returned to VXE-6 from 1993 to 31 March 1999. In 1996

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.

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.

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.

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.
