i was in 141 when 142 was recommioned with navy and air force personel

[MrStrikerable]

Prowler- Know for being the loudest aircraft! :) GO Navy, my dad flies Prowlers. To bad when I join all that will be left is Growlers.

As a alq-99 I-level tech, where's the pod on the right side of the jet? Those bastards can still listen to AM radio without that!!! :)

[necro45will]

yea i used to work with the shadowhawks awhile back. made some bad choices but i still think back of those days. dang that was a magnificent jet. rumor has it they are gonna fase them out and do another upgrade. the ea-6b would be fine lookin if it just got rid of that big ole donkey dic in the front of her. hahaha

[necro45will]

i miss messing with them. incredible plane and loud as all get out too.

[necro45will]

is vaq 142 the old shadowhawk squadron?

[ut000bs]

VAQ-141 is the Shadowhawks. Are you an old Prowler hand? I spent full terms in VAQ-132, VAQ-129 and VAQ-137.

@necro45will

This is my old squadron.. they used to be the "Grim Watchdogs"

[munkfish101]

does anybody know why the prowler needs a crew of 4?

[necro45will]

theres the pilot in the front left seat. and the eco 1 2 and 3 seats take care of all the computer work

[AdrianNtart]

whats the difference betwen the Viking and the Prowler? i mean theyr both electronic warfare..

[PBlrmkr]

Too many differences to list. The Viking was not EW, it was ASW and later, tanker/MPA/COD.

The ES-3A Shadow was a SIGINT variant of the Viking, but it has been retired for quite some time.

[drumkitwes]

What mission did they have? Just trying to jam up the taliban? I would imagine there wouldn't be too many targets to fire HARM's at.

[PBlrmkr]

Their missions are highly classified for obvious reasons.

[flammingdart]

Beauty!!

[ironroad18]

Excellent camo scheme, does the Navy use that color on the boat as well?

[PBlrmkr]

No, this scheme was only used in Bagram for this deployment and it was removed when 142 returned to the US.
