EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the United States Navy's Grumman-2C Hawkeye 161097 (MSN 56, base code AB, call sign 601), a vital component of the VAW-123 squadron, as it sits folded and ready for the hangar on the deck of the USS America on September 18, 1982. The Grumman Hawkeye, a long-range, maritime patrol aircraft, was a key asset in the Navy's fleet, providing early warning and control capabilities. In this image, we see the aircraft in its element, prepared for deployment on the aircraft carrier. The intricate details of the Hawkeye's design are on full display, from its distinctive radar dome to its powerful engines. The image also offers a glimpse into the bustling world of naval aviation, with other aircraft and crew members visible in the background. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures this moment in history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the beauty and importance of military aviation.
