Hate to burst your bubble whitewingsrich, but the E-2C's in this video have the 8 bladed prop sets. You can tell by the higher pitch sound, instead of the deeper almost rumble the 4 bladed engines used to make. The switch started about 2004-2005.
Awesome Vid! E-2's were busy that day, 2 Launched & 1 recovered in the space of 213 sec's lol E-2 my fav EW aircraft. Im not 2 keen on the new 1 though, 8 bladed prop one. E-2D / Hawkeye 2000 i think its taken the grace away from the original model a bit.
