Because we believe in fairness, and we've already shown both top- and side-views of this particularly fetching US Navy E-2C Hawkeye, I wanted to end off our little tour of this wicked aircraft with a bottom view.

I can't imagine when anyone would ever fly a plane like this so aggressively, but considering where it spends its life - way out over open ocean, vulnerable to enemy fighters and missiles because it carries no armament of its own - I'm strangely comforted to see it capable of such maneuvers.

Fly safe, friends. And thank you for protecting the rest of us.
