Author: Steven Tan 157 Posts Status: Instructor Pilot | Date 05-01-09 03:07 | is it a Grumman E-1B Tracer? And let me guess, this photo was from onboard the Intrepid Air and Space Museum, looks like NY in the
backround.

Very correct, Grumman E-1B Tracker, US Navy. RNLN had E-1As and Cs on R81 HNLMS Karel Doorman back in the 70s.
The design later in life was fitted with jets making it become the E-2 Prowler still serving with forces around the globe today.
Now excuse me for a few..... gotta show Sky some corners up close now......
