An E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft prepares to take off at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska.  The first E-3 rolled out of the Boeing factory on Feb. 1, 1972, and AWACS aircraft have been providing continuous air surveillance and command and control ever since.  (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Garrett Hothan)
