Funny story about the Prowler, I'm in Afghanistan on Bagram airfield. The first couple of nights at about 3am I swear I heard an incoming mortar round and rolled out of my rack with my hands over my head. An incoming mortar round makes 2 sounds, 1 good and 1 bad. The bad sound is a whisle with a buzz which tells you that sucker is getting ready to land on your head. Well when a Prowler is throttled back and making an overhead break prior to landing it whisles and the jammer pods give you a buzz!
