This E-2C is preserved at NAS Atlanta (GA) as AF-00 since November 1997. Here the aircraft is seen in a speedy landing to NAS Miramar, while assigned to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 110 (VAW-110), nicknamed the "Firebirds". VAW-110 was a Fleet Replacement Squadron for the E-2 Hawkeye and was disestablished in September 1994.
