Krumman E-2C Kerbeye v1.1

Is that a swarm of angry bees? No, it's better! The Krumman E-2 Kerbeye is the centerpiece of the Kerbal Navy's air wings. Known as the "Eye in the Sky," it has a big dome which looks as if it should house a sophisticated RADAR, able to detect both air and surface contacts at least a couple of miles away. The designers at Krumman also stuck many radios and antennae on the Kerbeye, making it the premier command and control platform. If the Kerbal Strike Group Kommander isn't busy running his ships aground, he can rest easy knowing that if a Kerbeye is airborne, it will probably get shot first.

– Now with detachable RADAR dome!

Requires B9 Aerospace, KAX*, Firespitter, and Procedural Fairings. Works better with SAS off. Trim, trim, trim.

*Recommend tweaking the KAX turboprops to get a little more oomph out of them and a little better fuel economy, but it'll fly fine as-is.
