The 'digital quarterback' of US Navy aircraft carrier air wings is celebrating its 15th year in flight
 

It took its first flight on August 3, 2007 and was delivered to the Navy in 2010.
The E-2D is the Navy's eye in the sky, guiding friends and tracking foes from hundreds of miles away.

On August 3, the US Navy's "digital quarterback," the Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, celebrated the 15th anniversary of its first flight.

The E-2D is the newest variant of the E-2 airborne early warning and control aircraft. In service since 1964, it is a considerable improvement over its predecessors.
