Control surface movements See Navair 01-85SAA-2 (Handbook of Maintenance Instruction) Serial Numbers eligible The original Navy designation for the following airplanes was the S2F-1 and this designation will appear on the nameplate. Post- delivery modifications were made resulting in S2F-1T for training use. In 1962, a new numbering system was established for all military airplanes and the S2F-1 became the S2A. Consequently, the trainer S2F- 1T version was called the TS-2A. Only those airplanes listed below are eligible for Airworthiness Certification.
