In May 1993, a contract for four E-2T (T standing for Taiwan) was signed between the US and Taiwan. It had been announced that these E-2T would be rebuilt E-2B fitted with AN/APS-138 radars. The first two E-2Ts arrived in Taiwan by sea on 3 Sep 1995, followed by the second pair on 23 Sep 1995. Although the four E-2Ts all have E-2B Bureau Numbers, ROCAF officials claimed that they were in fact all new-built Hawkeyes, with only few E-2B parts used, so the aircraft is equivalent to the E-2C Group II standard, with the more advanced AN/APS-145 radar. The aircraft belong to 2nd Early Warning Squadron.

Delivered in 1963. Withdrawn from use at Rio de Janeiro-Galeao Airport in 2001 and preserved there.

One of the 12 748s which faithfully served 2°GT at Galeão AB for some 40 years, now nicely displayed at the main gate to the transport base. Initially the guards thought I wanted to go inside the Avro but when they understood my wish just to photograph it, there was no problem
