E-2, E-2C, and E-2D Hawkeye Flight Hour Patches — Eyes of the Fleet, Counted in Hours

Because every hour in the Hawkeye is another hour of keeping the strike group alive.

The E-2 Hawkeye is the Navy’s carrier-based airborne early warning aircraft — the flying command center with the iconic rotodome that sees everything, tracks everything, and controls everything happening in the battlespace. From the legacy E-2C to the advanced E-2D Advanced Hawkeye with its mechanically rotating AN/APY-9 radar, this platform has been the quarterback of carrier air operations for decades. These flight hour patches mark the milestones — 500, 1,000, and beyond — that come from years of long orbits, combat controllers vectoring fighters to targets, and keeping the tactical picture clear for the entire carrier strike group. Every hour in the Hawkeye is an hour of watching everyone else’s back.

Perfect For: E-2 Hawkeye pilots and NFOs across all variants, VAW squadron members, carrier airborne early warning community veterans, and anyone who knows that the most important aircraft in the air wing is the one nobody’s shooting at.

See first. Control always. Hawkeye hours count double.
