Whay type of airplane is this (old AWAC?) Google Earth (Lat. 32° 8'50.72"N 32° <span title="8'50.72"N)(Long110°51'21.11"W)">8'50.72"N)(Long110°51'21....</span>

Question

South of Davis Monthan Airforce Base, Tucson Arizona. I grew up near this base and the old planes were very cool!

Answer 1

Great question. Just scanning the

AFB is fun. Couldn&#039;t believe all the

F-14&#039;s, F-4&#039;s etc.

Did you notice all the B-52&#039;s left  in pieces

for satellite treaty-verification by the Russin&#039;s?

I couldn&#039;t get your coordinate&#039;s to work

so I just went there and looked around.

I think you&#039;re looking at E2-C Hawkeye&#039;s

the Navy version of an AWAC&#039;s.

Answer 2

Grumman E-1 Tracer - a piston engine forerunner of the E-2 series.  The elliptical radome is a dead giveaway.
