    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.
