The Hawkeye provides carrier-based Airborne Early Warning (AEW) services for the U.S. Navy, roughly analogous to the E-3's role for the Air Force. Brian (#13):

Looks a little like an A-10, but I haven't seen dish (circle) on one before. To the west of Khorat airfield in Thailand there is this plane.
