The VAW-115 CAG-bird while playing the circuit of NAS Fallon. The Hawkeye-2000 was deployed from homebase MCAS Iwakuni (Japan) supporting work-ups for an upcoming cruise with the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76). Only months after this picture was taken, the E-2C was damaged when electric arcing led to a hangar bay fire on board CVN-76 on 18 October 2015. The Hawkeye was moved to NADep North Island (CA) and is reported stored since.

Built as an E-2A. Converted to an E-2B. Had recently arrived for storage. On the arrivals ramp. Left in 1991. To the Republic of China Air Force as 2502. Converted to an E-2K. Still in service in 2019.

This old E-2B, that once operated from the USS Midway, forward deployed in Japan, was placed in storage at AMARC on 25 October 1985. It received invenroy code 2E0016. The Hawkeye was temporarely placed in the so-called 'celebrity row' at the storage depot. This row showed one of each aircraft type of the storage depot. 152497 was reported als sold to the Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF, Taiwan Air Force) but was never delivered. Possibly it was only cannibalized for RoCAF parts. It was moved to Consolidated/UAC in Tucson (AZ) on 26 March 1999 and then scrapped.

Severely damaged on October 18, 2015 when it caught fire in the USS George Washington hangar bay. It does not appear to have been returned to service. C/N not available.

This aircraft wears the generic ACCLOGWING identification used by VAW wings when disembarked from Carriers. In the outer surfaces of the inner fins it still wears the NF code used in the preceding deployment on-board USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).

This Hawkeye lacks a tailcode, but was assigned to CVW-5/NF when deployed to Fallon in August 2015.
