E-3 Sentry (Awacs) The E-3 Sentry is also known as AWACS: Airborne Warning And Control System. This plane is used to guard the air. With it's rotating radar ('mushroom') it can search hundreds of miles into the air for enemy aircraft. If an enemy plane is detected, friendly fighter planes will be guided towards the enemies by the radar operators in the Sentry. Visit the Geilenkirchen NATO E-3A site.
