Constant trim. Can't this Hawkeye fly straight and level?

I'm a Navy Junior from my father's submarine service, but I love watching Navy pilots! Go Navy!

What abeam distance and groove length do you guys shoot for?

Just an old SWO asking, but do Aviators constantly adjust the trim while landing?

It's not the plane. It's not the pilot. It's the mustach.

Thats the only ship with the new Magnetic Catapult, I hear not a dependable as the steam powered because takes twice as long to hook up the planes and can become inoperable if they get too wet from wave coming over the deck. I also heard that the ammo storage is located right under the tower. That sounds effed up in a wartime situation to me. Anybody here know about any of this?

Hey, even Hornet pilots need someone to look up to.

FANTASTIC.

E 2c. Hard

Very good. Working Gr. Max lemm

Currently. Seems😂

Nice break and final turn. Where is the rattling sound going from? Gear, flaps, coffee thermos?

I flew with 2 of my students today. Just watching this aircraft turn you just wonder how marvelous flying is. Humans are clever buggers.

Se continua a usare così freneticamente il trim, finirà per romperlo

Quick question does the E-2 get sluggish or I should say does it have a higher landing speed due to the dome effecting the elevator, I just built a rc version of this plane and it flys amazing but when I come in to land it's like it wants to stall, so I have to come in at a faster speed but then she just wants to fly😅 I have a video up if you wanna check it out thanks.

Was on the Chucky V from ‘85 they ‘89. I miss her. Great video!

In response to an earlier comment: I was an enlisted aircrewman in the E2-C with VAW-124 1974 - 1978, 222 traps, many hundreds of hours flight time. Actually the ONLY in-flight exit is the main entrance door midway up the fuselage on the port side. The concept was that the three of us in back would be the first out, then the right seat up front and if possible the left seat. Hatches above the cockpit seats are not for in-flight exits and the hatch above the head of the guy farthest aft in the back-end would not be used to exit in flight. The idea was it could be used in the event of ditching in the water, but we mainly used it to access the radome or other equipment for maintenance…while on the deck.

I was in the VAW-113 Black Eagles as an AE from late 70's-early 80's. My squadron went on 2 Westpacs aboard CV-43 USS Coral Sea. We were stationed at NAS Miramar, San Diego. We shared a hangar with RVAW-110, and the next hangar over was the Top Gun school, lol! The movie came out shortly after I got out. F18's were just coming out. E2-C's were being designed and built for the first time too. We flew E2-B's back then. I worked on the navigation systems, the AN/ASN 36 inertial navigation system, AHRS, and magnetic compass, the flight computer, navigation computer, all the instruments, sensors, anything with 🙄"One Wire" to it, lol (except for the main computer,[64k of memory, each 8k ram card was bigger than a video cassette tape case] radar, radio, the scopes and some gear and buttons in back and some security and electronic ID equipment, IFF and stuff like that, which the AT's took care of), were ours. We electricians took care of all the lights, electrohydraulic systems, flight instruments, as well and what we're most famous for... pulling the plug out of the aircraft on cue. 🤘lol. l also helped hand wash a lot of E-2-B's, lol, well... just our four planes several times over. FOD walkdowns every day, lol.

Bravo!

Those glass hatch above the pilot, I heard if something went wrong they just fly inverted and jump out with a parachute. Is that true?

Thrilling!!! BREATHTAKING!

Great talent and expertise demonstrated by Navy pilots. I love watching how everyone works together. Teamwork at its finest! Fly NAVY!

Beautiful Aviation !

John, I believe YT has muted your video.

Truly masterful!

Спасибо !!!

Interesting callsign on the back of the right-seater's helmet

Gonna wear out those trim servos. Damn!

I need more fantastic E-2 Delta videos, please!

"Trash" is a heck of a call sign!

Trim junkie is all I see he's all over that chinamens hat FLY THE PLANE WITH YOUR HANDS . NOT TRIM MY OPINION

what is the top air inlet for?

What is that button he keeps pressing with his thumb?

EMALS is neat but Im gonna miss the Steam everywhere.

Motley Crue has nothing in common with an E-2 Hawkeye. The soundtrack should be Elton John.

I was a P/C in VAW 113 2 weatpacs 74-75,76-77 on board Enterprise

Where is this?

FROM SAI GON : GREAT ❤️

Great footage. Balls of steel

ok, the hula girl on the dash was totally unexpected…and hilarious!!

That poor trim button is getting a hell of a workout. How many times does that get replaced per tour?

Is his left thumb toggling the radio?

It's not until you see videos like this you realise just how constant trimming the aircraft is. Left thumb gets a workout!

Built the forward section of E2C for two and a half yrs 1980 to 1983 great men to work with after serving three years in the MARINE corps then on to the FDNY for 33 years it was my honor to build the E2EC thank you to all the Gentleman I worked with in Grumman job well done!

Thanks for the topside view of the ship I left 28 years ago....ET1 nuke (90-94)
