I wonder how the future look like for the Hawkeye, it's probably already 50 year old plane, is there some replacement planned or is the Hawkeye still going strong (that I hope)

- Kari
No replacement in the foreseeable future. They've just started bringing the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye to the fleet. All glass cockpit instruments, Upgraded.......well everything, including the engines. And around 2018-2020 the Hawkeye will have the ability to aerial refuel for the first time in it's history.
Thanks Medic!

Interesting information!
