Thirty-three years later, E-3 Sentry still going strong
Airmen assigned to the 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron's Sentry aircraft maintenance unit move an E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System, or AWACS, aircraft into a parking space on the flightline of a non-disclosed base in Southwest Asia on March 23, 2010. The action comes 33 years to the day when the Air Force received its first E-3 Sentry into its inventory on March 23, 1977. This E-3, assigned to the 965th Expeditionary Airborne Air Control Squadron, along with the maintenance Airmen are deployed to Southwest Asia from the 552nd Air Control Wing at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla.
