Totally fascinating look at the inside there. Had no idea it was so small inside. Two operators? The secret of the E2 must be its netcentric capabilities. These guys are more like switch board operators.
@lilice1907 The E-2 in various versions has been around for a while, but it does get continual upgrades. The Air Force E-3 AWACS obviously has the advantage of a larger airframe to put more people and equipment on it, but the E-2's carrier capability makes it a valuable asset in a carrier strike group.
@HawkeyeNFO117 - Sorry for having been a naughty boy with the sharks. Of course a hard job! I have had the chance go inside a Hercules C-130 in 2009, and approach F-16/F/A-18/F-15 last year in Farnborough. Visit a Hawkeye would of course be great. I would accept a blindfold to avoid a too deep vision. I didn't know for the video rental at You Tube. I will try. Thank you.
No Dilbert Dunker?

Flying E-2s looks like a good job to have in the Navy. It's a little hot-rod.

That was a pretty good introductory-level video.

This aircraft has a 230 mile radius.
Another impressive aircraft is the Tactical Electronic Warfare EA-6B jams radars and, in simple terms, takes over the electromagnetic spectrum.

A few sharks in the pool could increase the challenge! You never know what is waiting behind enemy lines!

@ALB437 Trying to get out of the helo dunker with a blindfold on can be almost as scary.
