My airwing almost lost an E-2 due to an electrical fire, bailout was apparently the next step. Around '90 or '91 there was an E-2 bailout in the Med. The plane kept flying so they had a Hornet shoot it down. I'd heard they painted an E-2 on the canopy rail but CAG didn't see the humor and made them take it off.
Hope they find the last crewmember alive.
