Greyhawks Greyhounds and Hawkeyes: E-2/C-2 Training with VAW-120

摘要

THE E-2 HAWKEYE is now enjoying its 50th anniversary with the US Navy. The initial E-2A was followed by the E-2B, and then the E-2C. A variety of E-2C versions have supported the fleet for years and will continue to do so. Now, the latest variant to enter the community is the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. It offers a wide range of improvements over its forebears, and the Hawkeye community is very excited by its introduction. Meanwhile, the faithful C-2A Greyhound has for decades been a proven performer in the carrier on-board delivery (COD) role. All E-2 and C-2 aircrew attend Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron One Two Zero (VAW-120) 'Greyhawks' for training on these types. VAW-120 is responsible for having spare aircraft ready to replace fleet aircraft, as well as framing all E-2/C-2 aircrew and maintainers entering (or refreshing within) the community.
