Prowler Arrives at Flying Leathernecks Museum.

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.
