The Northrop E-2 Hawkeye is an all-weather airborne early warning aircraft (AEW). The E-2 was
a twin-turboprop developed in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s for the USN. The E-2 is a carrier-
capable aircraft and has received major upgrades in their electronics for the E-2B and E-2C with
the E-2C also receiving improved turbo-prop engines. The E-2 has been in production since the
1960’s making it the longest production run of any carrier based aircraft. The E-2C variant
became operational in 1973.
The Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye was first introduced to the IAF in 1981 when 4 aircraft
were delivered. Israel was the first foreign country to obtain the E-2Cs. The aircraft were
assigned to the 92 Squadron “Daya (Milvus) Squadron” and played a role in the 1982 Lebanon
War and other conflicts over the following years. Israel was the first user to install air-to-air
refueling capabilities. In 2002 Israel sold 3 of the 4 E-2Cs to Mexico with the remaining aircraft
being placed in the Israeli Air Force Museum.
