Wow.....Hawkeye aerobatics.....they must have trained hard for that demo flight.....

What is max AOB on the Hawkeye? That looks to be about 75 deg.

Cool pic, btw.

^^ I have a feeling they're going to say 75 deg.

Well the COD is limited to "60" degree AOB if that's any indicator.

How many degrees is "60?"

"Oh yeah? One time I had the Hummer almost knife edge!" Hope they had their g-suits on. Sorry, can't help it. Much love to AIC.

Doesn't the frisbee fall off going through 75 degrees? :sleep_125

BTW - anyone have a link to the video of the E-2 barrel roll?

Doesn't mean it can't do 80 degrees...or 75...or 70. However, it's almost as if why even try? Back in 01 had some nuggets alway wanting to perform fly-bys. So we did a few, even hit 340 on one :sleep_125 Thats about how exciting it looks from the deck as well. Especially when it follows a Tomcat (not now of course) or a Hornet.
