Subject description: E-2C and F-86
E-2C Hawkeye
The E-2C Hawkeye is the U.S. Navy's all-weather, carrier-based tactical airborne warning and control system platform. It provides all-weather airborne early warning and command and control functions for the carrier battle group. Additional missions include surface surveillance coordination, strike and interceptor control, search and rescue guidance and communications relay.
An integral component of the carrier air wing, the E-2C carries three primary sensors: radar, IFF, and a passive detection system. These sensors are integrated through a general purpose computer that enables the E-2C to provide early warning, threat analyses, and control of counter action against air and surface targets. The E-2C incorporates the latest solid state electronics.
Carrier-based E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft directed F-14 Tomcat fighters that provided combat air patrol during the two-carrier battle group joint strike against terrorist-related Libyan targets in 1986, and during the crisis period preceeding and following the strike. E-2Cs and AEGIS cruisers, working together, provided total air mass superiority over the American fleet. During this time, American aircraft made 153 intercepts of Libyan air force attempts to overfly the U.S. fleet, intercept the U.S. fighter combat air patrol, or gather intelligence information. Not once did a Libyan aircraft get into firing position before it was locked into the sights of a U.S. aircraft or AEGIS platform missile.

North American F-86 Sabre
This was the first USAF swept-wing fighter, and the famous opponent of the MiG-15 in Korea. The swept wing was added to the design when it was found out that the straight-wing design (later built for the Navy as the FJ-1) was too slow. The early F-86A was inferior in some respects to the MiG-15: The Soviet fighter, lighter and with a more powerful engine, had avantages in speed and operation ceiling. But better US pilot training compensated that. More powerful engines and redesigned wings substantially improved performance of later types. The F-86H had a J73 engine instead of the J47. A radar nose and a 'beard' air intake characterized the F-86D, F-86K and F-86L single-seat all-wheater interceptors. The TF-86 was a longer trainer version and the RF-86 was a recce version; bulges at the wing roots and under the cockpit housed the photographic equipment. For the US Navy North American developed the FJ-2, FJ-3 and FJ-4 from the F-86.

Impressive Yurisarmy, I like the F-86...
Tovarich.Slavick:
Dont worry, most of the notable aircraft of the Cold War that would be expected to see battle will be here.
F-4, Mig-15, Mig-19, Mig-21. It is likely you will see them. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

For example, the F-4 and MiG-21 are already made. This week I'll be making the F-80 and a few other Vietnam-era stuff. _________________
