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.
