E-2D Advanced Hawkeye - Less than a year out.

That's something, looking at the pic's. I haven't laid a hand on a hummer since the A's and B's and it's apparent that the port inbd vert stab is still "fixed". It sure had it's quirks that probably still exist today. Flap acme nuts and limit switches come to mind. Any of you guys know a Mustanger that goes by "Mo"?

Maybe where you were, but not at St Augustine as shown in photo:

Nice triangle on the nose. Isn't that a gay pride symbol?

Nose, did you get out (or come out if that's more appropriate)?

^^^What is that thing in the last pic?

Vapor cycle intake scoop. Big A/C for the computers and other machines that go "ping".

Not sure what exactly the smaller intake on top goes to - the HE2K don't have that. Might be the speakerbox.

Speakers?

Have you seen the George Lucas remastered edition?

So Nose, what's your community again?

We were all men when I was in.

Except for, you know, the women.

Except for, you know, the women.

And now even the women are men.

And now even the women are men.

Once again, I think the pic is appropriate, kmac's old manwhore in Hong Kong:

"Flight-Test Program Accelerates for U.S. Navy's E-2D"

... some interesting info on development/testing of the new radar for the E-2D.

"Protect the Hawkeye!"...really?

So there was this ad in the PNJ online today, which lead to this site here: Northrop-Grumman - Protect the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

What's this all about? I've seen ads for the F-22 and KC-45, but I hadn't heard anything about the D being cut.

The program had an aircraft cut from the last budget, and I believe this one as well (too lazy to check). Doesn't mean the program is going away, but extending timelines = more $$$.
