As always Late on posts, next project is F-15 STOL, The E-3 Sentry is an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing for the U.S. Air Force and other international operators. It is based on the Boeing 707 airframe and is equipped with a large, rotating radar dome mounted on top of the fuselage. This radar system provides surveillance, tracking, and command and control capabilities, allowing it to detect and track aircraft and missiles at long ranges. The E-3 Sentry plays a critical role in air defense and command and control, enabling comprehensive situational awareness and coordinated responses in both peacetime and combat situations.
