After nearly 5 years in play and over a 100 visits, the original cache at this location [Da Plane! Da Plane! (GC2K3KJ)] finally needed maintenance. Since I've had to revisit this location, you can, too, for a new 
, only this time the difficulty level has been ratcheted up a degree -- no hint, BIG plane, LITTLE container.
Don't bother telling your geo-buddies the placement, I'll move it around now and then -- bwahahahaha!
BACKGROUND:
Grumman Tracker CP-121
Period: Postwar (1945-1959)
Uses: Maritime Patrol
First Flight: May 31, 1956 (CS2F-1)
The Tracker was the first Canadian-built aircraft ever ordered for the Royal Canadian Navy. It replaced the aging Grumman Avenger as the Navy’s anti-submarine patrol aircraft. With the retirement of the aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure, the Tracker reverted to land-based coastal surveillance. In 1960, 17 Canadian Trackers were given to the Netherlands. When the Trackers were retired from the Canadian Forces some were converted to water bombers and are still active in the 1990s. Canada built a total of 99.
The Tracker’s detection equipment was similar to what larger, land-based patrol aircraft like the Canadair Argus carried. The Tracker also flew equipped with sonobuoys, smoke markers, torpedoes, flares, and explosive charges, but in much smaller quantities than the Argus.
The cache (nano) is not suitable for swag and you must bring your own writing instrument. Stealth is required.
