Photo Comment

This Hawkeye was last seen at the dump of NAS North Island (CA) in March 2001. It was reported there from 1993 onwards. The aircraft was struck of charge from US Navy inventory in September 1998. So most probably... it does not exist anymore. It is seen here in 1987 while 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.
