E-2 Hawkeye: The Hummer You Don’t Mess With

  • The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is the Navy's all-weather, carrier-based tactical battle management airborne early warning, command and control aircraft. The E-2 is a twin engine, five crewmember, high-wing turboprop aircraft with a 24-foot diameter radar rotodome attached to the upper fuselage. Designed in the 1950s, the E-2 first flew in 1960 before entering service in 1964. The E-2 has been in production, in one variant or another, continuously since 1960 - giving the E-2 the longest production run of any carrier-based aircraft ever.
    The E-2, which uses twin turbo-prop engines, also has earned the nickname “Hummer”, due to the distinct humming sound the prop engines make - which is easily discernible from the roar of a carrier’s jet engine fleet.
    In addition, the sequel of new movie “Top Gun: Maverick”, featuring E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, even for a brief moment, makes a strong impression.

    I was an OS on the carrier Independence CV-62. Always loved the E-2 C We had quite the capabilities with our ship board equipment, the E-2, the helo's with Sono Buoys and the P-3 Orion. Our job was to track and identify anything in the air, on the surface or sub-surface. The EA-6 Prowler was one of my favorites. The Cod. Our Task Force was a totally self-sufficient force which could project Naval Power for hundreds of miles in any direction. Mind you, I don't believe in Empire building. I believe that Defense is exactly what we should be doing. My Navy was responsible for keeping sea lanes open and free from any attack. The guys who operated our E-2's were top of the food chain. All very capable and professional. I can't answer for today's Navy but in the 1980's we were as formidable as a Navy could ever be.

    I worked as an electrician on the F14 for 7 years. At night as soon as I came out of the ship and headed towards the flight deck and heard a Hawkeye running I would stop immediately and let my eyes adjust and find out exactly where the thing was. One of my biggest fears on that deck was walking into that big propped bird.

      Saw one trap on the USS Coral Sea during 72-73 WestPac and Starboard main collapsed. Prop came apart and tore a nasty lice into the fuselage. Luckily he caught the wire.
      Also had an F-4 from my squadron land gear up on foamed runway at Cubi Pt. that trip too. It's hard on the paint. I was an AME. Cheers.

    My dad worked at the wing of the Hawkeye for most of his Naval career, we still have many friends in the Navy working in this. One of them being a man with the Call sign “Princess” who’s I believe commander of one of the Hawkeye training squadrons. This plane is such a big part of my family and life in some ways and it’s nice to see these videos because I truly believe that it’s an underrated military aircraft in terms of public knowledge and recognition. Easily has been and definitely still is one of the most crucial aircraft to all of the Navy’s operations.

      It's nice that some of these awesome builds were put to museum.
      US has so long time handling of the best's plane's, so many countries trust their job. It's interesting to see under two year f35's becoming, but sad that f18's go away. Bodies will made to these in Finland, but design and parts are from US mostly. It's not just plane or fighter, it's part of link to stay alive and keeping our country safe.
      Twing engines are always nice, but using one is light and cost effective.

    We had the E-1 on my first cruise 1968-'69 and the E-2 on my second cruise 1969-'70. I arrived on the ship in a C-2 Greyhound, which is the same airframe as the E-2. I also flew off the ship in the C-1, the same airframe as the E-1 and S-2. I doubt the C-1s are still around, but there are still some C-2s flying as CODs. Norah O'Donnell flew out to Nimitz on a C-2. I'm not sure, but I think the B-52 and C-130 are the only planes older than the C-2/E-2 and are still active. Great grandchildren could be flying the same aircraft that their great grandfathers flew. How's that for getting your money's worth?

    • @jimtownsend7899
      @jimtownsend7899 Год назад

      John, I think you meant the C-1 was the same airframe as the S-2, not C-2. The S-2 Tracker, a venerable old ASW bird, was in the F model by the time the E-1 was developed. The old E-1 Tracer was what we affectionately called, "Stoof With a Roof". I'm sure you knew that, but I mention it for the benefit of those who didn't know.

    • @johnslaughter5475
      @johnslaughter5475 Год назад

      @@jimtownsend7899 Actually, I had meant to say E-1. But, S-2 would have been just as accurate. Both the E-1 Tracer and C-1 Trader were derived from the S-2 airframe. We called our C-1 "Triple Nuts" as the side number was 000. It was also called Ranger Airlines. We had the E-1 on my first cruise and the E-2 on my second cruise. The E-2 is still providing the same service that it did over 50 years ago. Let's see the Navy try to put a big radome on the back of an F/A-18.

    We should have made a whole family based on them. Not just the C-2 Greyhound for COD (also have it drop paratroopers and supplies). But also a refueling tanker. A maritime patrol/ASW plane like a carrier launched P3-Orion or P-8 Poseidon. An electronic surveillance and electronic warfare plane. And a medium bomber/missile truck. All with way more hauling capacity, fuel efficiency, range, and loiter time than a jet or helicopter. A turbo prop missile truck that can throw way more missiles at enemy aerial targets than a jet fighter can might be a cheap force multiplier, especially when accompanied by its Hawkeye, tanker, and electronic jamming siblings

      Your comment is ridiculous. First, E-2s don't go anywhere near combat. They carry no weapons and have no purpose over a combat zone. They are standoff command and control platforms. To make that simple for you, they go high and they see far. Unclas figures state 300+ miles for detection and tracking, let alone C&C duties. AR lets an E-2, like any other platform, remain airborne longer, on station. "Buying more" doesn't solve anything. That's like buying more cars so you don't have to stop at a gas station. Yeah, doesn't make much sense does it?
