The Navy has recovered the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye that crashed off the coast of Virginia last month.
The aircraft, assigned to Airborne Command and Control Squadron 120 out of Norfolk, went down March 30 during routine flight operations near Wallops Island and Chincoteague, about 100 miles northeast of Norfolk. The crash resulted in the death of a crew member.
Navy divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, along with interagency partners and local and federal actors, salvaged the aircraft April 12. The Navy said the aircraft was cut into several pieces and then hoisted from the water with a sling and crane.
