hawkeye

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about when I say E-2 Hawkeye, this is it. If Alan Alda comes to mind, no worries. Whenever I hear the word hawkeye, I think of Hawkeye Pierce on M*A*S*H.


Anyway, this is the outside of the modern version of the E-2 Hawkeye (you can tell with the eight-bladed propeller, the older version has a four-bladed propeller):


The inside (they tell me it smells like a locker room full of dirty socks):

I'm sorry, Ken, but there can be only one Hawkeye. The airplane is great and all, but who is going to tell those folks that "Hawkeye" is already taken, and they'll have to change the name?? Maybe they can use "E-2 Duckbeak" instead.
