The history of this aircraft: the E-2 on display was delivered to the US Navy as an E-2A model in September 1966 and later upgraded to the E-2B standard in January 1970 after undergoing a complete computer and radar upgrade. Our aircraft saw service aboard the USS America and later saw service on the USS John F. Kennedy, USS Ranger, USS Midway, USS Forrestal and USS Independence. She was assigned to several early warning squadrons, including VAW-12, VAW-115 VAW-117, VAW-122, VAW-124, VAW-125, VAW-126, RVAW-110 and RVAW-120. On January 14 1986 this aircraft was retired at Lakehurst NJ and transferred to the AVM September 11 1995.
Grumman delivered our Hawkeye as a E-2A model in September 1966. It was upgraded to E-2B standard in January 1970 The E-2 was designed as a Airborne Early Warning platform. The E-2B can track upto 300 targets both in the air and on the surface or ground. Hawkeyes have been sold to Israel, Japan, Egypt, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and France.

The continuous improvements in early airborne radars by 1956 led to the concept of an airborne early warning and command and control aircraft. The first aircraft to perform this mission was the Grumman E-1 Tracer (a variant of the S-2 Tracker anti-submarine aircraft), which saw service from 1954 to 1964. The E-1’s successor, the E-2 Hawkeye, was the first carrier-based aircraft designed from the outset for the all-weather airborne early warning and command and control function. Since replacing the E-1 in 1964, the Hawkeye has been the “eyes of the fleet.” Since its combat debut during the Vietnam conflict, the E-2 has served the Navy around the world. Hawkeyes directed F-14 Tomcat fighters flying combat air patrol during the two-carrier battle group joint strike against terrorist-related Libyan targets in 1986. E-2Cs and AEGIS cruisers, working together, provided total air mass superiority over the American fleet.

Museum volunteers, with the help of Dennys Towing, towed the 38,000 pound aircraft over the road from Lakehurst NAES to the Air Victory Museum overnight.

In 1945, Radioplane created the Model RP-19 by replacing the O-45 engine in the OQ-17 target with a higher-rated O-90 engine. The RP-19 was tested by the USAAF as the YOQ-19 in July 1945, and ordered into production in 1946 as the OQ-19A. The OQ-19A had a metal fuselage and wooden wings (later OQ-19As would use metal wings). Like all following members of the family, it could be launched from a catapult launcher, a rotary launcher, or from a zero-length launcher with the aid of a 2,160 lb. (9.6 kN) thrust solid-fueled booster rocket. The Air Force drones could also be air-launched, usually from DB-26C aircraft. The OQ-19s were controlled from the ground by a radio command link, which used an AN/URW-3 transmitter and an AN/ARW-26AY receiver. Recovery was by parachute, which was deployed by radio command or automatically after loss of vital systems. The OQ-19C was a derivative of the OQ-19A, which had metal wings from the beginning and a significantly modified vertical tail without a rudder. The OQ-19C used the same O-90 engine as the OQ-19A.

The A-4D2N (A-4C) on display was built in El Segundo CA in 1959. It was delivered to the US Navy at Patuxent Naval Air Station in Maryland and was flight tested there on November 11, 1959. It remained at Pax River until March 22, 1961 when it was transferred to NAS Norfolk Virginia.
AVM volunteers spent countless hours disassembling the aircraft at Dalgren VA. It was then loaded on two trucks and shipped to the Museum. The aircraft was in poor condition and our volunteers spent over 5000 hours refurbishing and painting the aircraft.

The McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was originally designed to provide the US Navy and Marine Corps with a simple, low cost, lightweight attack aircraft. The first prototype flew in June 1954. Later versions included a two-seat design for training and for sale to Singapore. Advanced versions were sold to Israel, Argentina and New Zealand.

This 28-cylinder radial monster—nicknamed the “Corncob” for its four tightly packed rows of cylinders—was one of the engines that powered the massive Convair B-36 Peacemaker. Developed as a long-range strategic bomber during the early Cold War, the B-36 was one of the largest piston-engine aircraft ever built. To get this enormous aircraft off the ground, it relied on six massive R-4360 engines driving huge propellers mounted along the trailing edge of its wings.

What makes the B-36 even more fascinating is its unique pusher configuration. Instead of facing forward, all six 19-foot propellers were mounted behind the wings, providing aerodynamic advantages by keeping the airflow over the wings' leading edges relatively clean.

Powered by six massive 28-cylinder piston engines producing more than 20,000 horsepower combined, the B-36 remains one of the most remarkable engineering achievements in aviation history. Seeing this cutaway R-4360 display in person really puts the incredible scale and mechanical complexity of that era into perspective.

The first swept-wing airplane in the U.S. fighter inventory, the F-86 scored consistent victories over Russian-built MiG fighters during the Korean War, accounting for a final ratio of 10-to-1. All 39 United Nations jet aces won their laurels in Sabres.

Four models of the craft (F-86A, E, F and H) were day fighters or fighter bombers, while the F-86D, K and L versions were all-weather interceptors. Successive models of the daylight versions, all designed to destroy hostile aircraft in flight or on the ground, were equipped with more powerful engines and armament systems that ranged from bombs and rockets to machine guns and cannon. All are rated in the 650 mph class with a 600 mile combat radius and a service ceiling of over 45,000 feet.

The three interceptor versions sported black radome noses, replacing the yawning jet intakes of the other models. The K model, manufactured in Turin, Italy, by Fiat, was flown by NATO forces. The F-86L had added equipment for use in conjunction with the U.S. SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) defense system.

Wonderful group from Lakewood came in to visit us last Wednesday. A bunch of eager young faces willing to learn about our history. It was a pleasure to have them.
