Auto Credit Based on MonikaAkiyama's Boeing E-767 AWACS

Not mine I just made some adjustments for realism and a usaf livery all credit goes to the original maker 1 and 2 for startup 3 for taxi lights and 4 for landing lights . Here's a quick wiki post:On September 6, 1976, Soviet Air Forces pilot Viktor Belenko successfully defected to the West, flying his MiG-25 'Foxbat' to Hakodate, Japan. During this incident, Japan Self-Defense Force radar lost track of the aircraft when Belenko flew his MiG-25 at a low altitude, prompting the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) to consider procurement of airborne early warning aircraft.

In 1976, the U.S. Air Force was about to deploy the E-3 Sentry airborne warning and
control system aircraft, which was considered to be the prime candidate for the airborne early warning mission by JASDF. However, the Japan Defense Agency (JDA, now Ministry of Defense) realized that the E-3 would not be readily available due to USAF needs and instead opted to procure the American E-2 Hawkeye AWACS aircraft.[2] The E-2C was put into service with the Airborne Early Warning Group (AEWG) at JASDF Misawa Air Base in January 1987.
