E-3D Sentry Aircraft Lands at RAF Waddington
An E-3D Sentry aircraft from 8 Squadron, Royal Air Force lands at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire.
The Sentrys roles include air and sea surveillance, airborne command and control, weapons control and it can also operate as an extensive communications platform.
The RAF operates seven E-3D Sentry aircraft in the airborne surveillance and command-and-control role. The aircraft are based at RAF Waddington, where they are operated by Nos 8 and 23 Squadrons as the UKs contribution to the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force.
The E-3D also forms one arm of the UK Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) triad of Sentinel R1, E-3D and Nimrod R1 aircraft. Whilst primarily procured as an airborne early warning aircraft, the E- 3D has been extensively employed in the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) role.
The E-3D Sentry, known to the RAF as the AEW1, is based on the commercial Boeing 707-320B aircraft, which has been extensively modified and updated to accommodate modern mission systems. Mission endurance is approximately 11 hours (over 5000nmls), although this can be extended by air - to- air refuelling.
The E-3D is the only aircraft in the RAFs inventory capable of air-to-air refuelling by both the American flying-boom system and the RAFs probe-and-drogue method

EDITORS COMMENTS
The E-3D Sentry aircraft, captured in this stunning photo print, showcases its impressive capabilities as it gracefully lands at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. As a vital asset to the Royal Air Force, the Sentry fulfills multiple roles including air and sea surveillance, airborne command and control, weapons control, and extensive communications capabilities. With seven E-3D Sentry aircraft operating under the RAF's airborne surveillance and command-and-control role, Nos 8 and 23 Squadrons proudly contribute to NATO's Airborne Early Warning and Control Force from their base at RAF Waddington. Additionally, these aircraft form an essential part of the UK Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) triad alongside Sentinel R1 and Nimrod R1 planes. Originally based on the commercial Boeing 707-320B model but extensively modified for modern mission systems, the E-3D Sentry is known as AEW1 within the RAF. Its mission endurance reaches approximately 11 hours or over 5000 nautical miles; however, this range can be extended through air-to-air refueling using both American flying-boom system or the RAF's probe-and-drogue method. This photograph captures not only a remarkable aircraft but also symbolizes the dedication of those serving in armed forces worldwide who work tirelessly to ensure our safety through advanced technology like that found aboard this magnificent E-3D Sentry.
