Grumman E-2 Hawkeye
Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye
A turboprop with a huge radar dome on its back and four vertical fins: the E-2 Hawkeye has been the eye of carrier strike groups since the 1960s. Here is how to recognize it, how to tell the E-2C from the E-2D, and where it flies in Europe.
Grumman F-14 Tomcat
Tomcat
Swing wings, twin vertical fins, a crew of two: the F-14 Tomcat was the US Navy’s carrier fighter for 32 years and became a pop-culture icon with Top Gun. You hardly ever see one fly today – but you can find them in many US museums.
