Over 6000 Flight Hours in Hawkeye
Robert Jackson, a test pilot at test squadron VX-20, was
recently honored by NAVAIR’s E-2/C-2 Program office and the
Northrop-Grumman Corporation for having achieved 6,000 flight hours
in the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft. Jackson, an employee of Advanced
Information Engineering Services, is only the second pilot to have
reached this milestone since the E-2C was put into service in
1973.
In recognition of Jackson’s achievement a unique wood and
bronze plaque, with a small relief sculpture of an E-2C, was
presented to him by E-2/C-2 Program Manager (PMA231) Captain Robert
LaBelle and Mr. Julius Longshore of Northrop Grumman.
Jackson logged his record number of hours over the past twenty
plus years flying active duty missions
