VAW-124, known as the "Bear Aces," is a United States Navy squadron that operates the E-2C Hawkeye, an all-weather tactical airborne early warning and control aircraft. Commissioned in 1967, VAW-124 plays a crucial role in fleet defense, providing surveillance, early warning, and command and control capabilities for naval operations. The E-2C is equipped with a distinctive rotating radar dome, allowing it to detect and track aircraft and maritime targets over vast distances. VAW-124 has participated in numerous deployments and operations, contributing significantly to carrier strike group effectiveness and enhancing situational awareness in complex combat environments. Designed as a replacement for the E-1 Tracer, the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye was first flown in 1960. This all-weather tactical Airborne Early Warning aircraft is the only aircraft-carrier capable aircraft to carry a large rotating dome, which houses the antennas for its long-range radars. Used primarily by the US Navy, the E-2 provides surveillance and airborne early warning of anti-ship and enemy aircraft attacks. Sometimes called "The Hummer" because of its distinctive engine sounds, the E-2 is one of only two propeller airplanes that currently operate from aircraft carriers. The E-2 is still undergoing upgrades, with the modern E-2D taking its first flight in August 2007. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
