Farewell to the RAF E-3D Sentry

Post by Paul K »

After 30 years of service, our Sentries have been retired.

In fine British tradition, we'll now have bugger all for two years until its replacement enters service.

The wedge tails. I’ve no love for the sentry either, but who would choose a 737, other than for it being cheap…. And ugly as sin.
