The Mighty E-3 Sentry AWAC.

This aircraft never fails to impress, its job is to defend the skies of the free world.

That was some great footage of this rare, impressive aircraft! You can't get much closer to the action than during that taxiing scene!

Stunning footage, superb close taxi and great sound! WOW! That is what I love to see! HUGE like!

Its still weird for me, seeing how much people love this airplane...Mighty, impressive, etc are not things I associate with it lol. I worked on them, and absolutely hated this jet. Now, I reminisce and am nostalgic of course, but seeing it (particularly mine) makes me smell it, and remember the pain it was working the flightline.

No point being made by me...just an old vet dropping a comment.

Lovely footage mate. So lucky to get up close like that. Here in Oz it's that tightly locked up now.

Magnificent beast indeed!..Almost took my eye out as well as the perforated eardrum!:-) Hope you guys protect your ears!...What?...I said hope...;)

Very Impressive Jet ~ Another B-707 variant (military) is of course the KC-135 Tanker. This role reverser model takes on it's own refueling probe for those extra long AWAC missions. Backup Crews Mandatory.

I've seen a kc135 but nothing beats the 707 e3 sentry

Just flew over my house at 31, 000ft. Saw it through binoculars

Looks scary to some people when its that close up

[martinjones]

They are CFM 56 2 A dash3 engines to be accurate !

"Its job is to defend the skies of the free world"...great footage but thats stretching the truth somewhat methinks.

It's an AWACS, not an AWAC FFS ...
