dambuster Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 What can be done with a Grumman Hawkeye that is missing the Rotordome and support? Was there such an aircraft - I know about the C-2 but that had a totally different fuselage. Any ideas anyone? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicE1 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) In one word! "NO" you will never see a Hawkeye without it`s hat on!!, I like the sound of doing a WIF! I`ve always wondered what the A0-1 Mohawk`s big brother would have looked like!! Edited October 4, 2013 by nicE1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Grumman did the C2 Greyhound which was the Hawkeye with the dish an supports. Google it. Well easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Grumman did the C2 Greyhound which was the Hawkeye with the dish an supports. Google it. Well easy. The Greyhound and the Hawkeye have totally different fuselages. The Falcon conversion posted above can be used to build a C-2 starting from a kit of the E-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailspin Turtle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 In one word! "NO" you will never see a Hawkeye without it`s hat on!!, Never say never... Of course, it was an E-2A prototype and I don't know that it was ever done any other time, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
