US Airforce Boeing E-3 Sentry take off from Hato

Well well, this aircraft is awesome to see when it's engines are off, or to view from a distance. Why? I don't know what kind of fuel or if the engines need service but this aircraft has an awful exhaust fume coming out of those engines. We were dumped by the exhaust of this beast, later on as i smelled my shirt it was smelling like i was standing behind a diesel truck.

that smell on your shirt is JP-8. Basically, high octane kerosene. i fly on this bird,btw. I'd like to add that the U.S. Air Force does NOT want you taking videos of the AWACS taking off from your position in Curacoa. We know you are watching. Please stop, and tell your friends. Thanks.

I don't have any other intention than just enjoy the aviation world. I don't see any problem with that. I know that it's a US Air force plane but please, just a video won't hurt anyone.

the reason why this jet has an awful exuast fume, and is very loud then the other jets, like the KC-135 airbourne refueler that's there as well, it's because the engines of the E-3 are very very very old, from when the plane was first made, they never refitted it with new engines like they did with the KC-135's

Oh ok, i had that in mind. Thanx for the update

@jojosambre Yeah. To put in perspective, the JT3D turbofan was developed in the late-fifties. :-) Most of the USAF fleet is like this. C-5As and Bs have been powered by the General Electric TF39, which was first run in 1964.

@JonnyCrash Oh ok, thanx for the update

Slow down there Fun Police.

You should really stop being a giant penis wrinkle, unless you're name is Gen. Norton A. Schwartz....and I highly doubt that.

@stewcifur12 Don't worry he's just butthurt, there's nothing stopping you from taking videos because the runway is commercial and shared by the entire island. Lol, we know you are watching... what a dick

[slotinvids]

I saw some of these aircraft flying near my school at the UK

[jcjuxojn]

That's how a jet should sound!

[Alorse10]

take off at 5:05, just so you don't die watching it stand there.
