ASI successfully delivered the second E-2/C-2 RFTD to Naval Air Facility, Atsugi, Japan.  The twelve month effort was delivered two weeks early.  This is the first trainer the E-2/C-2 community has had to support the squadrons in Japan.  With the E-2 CNS/ATM configuration, the E-2 community will be able to train pilots on the new “glass cockpit” configuration in advance of the delivery of aircraft with the new  configuration.  Congratulations to the RFTD team!
