The Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as AWACS, is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing. Derived from the Boeing 707, it provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications, and is used by the United States Air Force, NATO, Royal Air Force, French Air Force, and Royal Saudi Air Force. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome above the fuselage. Production ended in 1992 after 68 aircraft had been built.

Having befriended the RAAF Public Affairs team on a tanker ride earlier in the trip, we were able to get back on to Nellis AFB the day after the two Red Flag 07-2 media days, specifically with the aim of getting rather closer to the Aussie Pigs as they prepared to launch.

The 1-11 was such a good looking jet.... With the lids up and the black nose, it always reminded me of a greyhound!
