The Flying Leathernecks
Aviation Museum and Historical Foundation at Marine Corps
Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California has just taken delivery of a
Grumman EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft.
Based upon the airframe of
the now-retired A-6 Intruder, the Prowler started service in the early 1970’s
and is still active in small numbers with both Marine Corps and Navy squadrons.
The introduction of the Boeing EA-18G Growler (a modified version of the
F/A-18F Super Hornet), has seen Prowlers slowly being retired as their
successor enters service in greater numbers. A few Prowlers have made it
to museums.
