This website lists quite a few E-2 mishaps, not including the latest. Looks like there have been 6 different fatal mishaps, including this one and the Coast Guard mishap in 1990. The mishap on 14 August 2003 was a friend of mine but they walked away. He was giving a NATOPS check ride to a pilot in St Augustine, Florida when they had a pitchlock and went off the runway. I also knew one of the pilot's in the 9 June 2005 mishap which happened at NAF Choctaw in Pensacola, Florida. Engine fire on that one. Both of those were VAW-120 birds.
