The E-7 Wedgetail is an airborne early-warning and control aircraft built on the 737-700. Its distinctive 'top hat' radar array tracks aircraft and ships across hundreds of miles — replacing the aging E-3 Sentry fleet.
Fun fact
Its fixed MESA radar antenna can scan 360 degrees electronically — no spinning radome required, unlike the older E-3 Sentry.
How to spot one
