Photo Comment

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.
