I don’t care how much that ashtray cost and whether they were all decreed as UA in 113. By unanimous vote of the Ready Room, Motors always got a smoke before shooting an approach.

Those nose-on pictures were probably taken from the back of a helicopter.

That thing hanging out the side was called the screamer because of the fan it had that runs on deck. It is the radiator for the liquid cooling system for the high power radar boxes. At least that’s what it was when I flew E-2C Grp 0/1/2 in VAW-110/114/112. It looks bigger now.

They used to tell us that the early E-2C models I flew at KNKX were plumbed for it. Just a simple plumming job and some wiring to make it happen.

That land-based version sounds like an E-3.

…yet.
Supposedly is plumbed so one could be fit with some simple mods. Land-based version being shopped has IFR as an option (along with an inflight kitchen, reclining buckets, etc.)
