Watch in HD. No special editing done, just a tossed together video consisting of my raw video footage from NAF El Centro March 2009. The E/A-18G Growler is basically a typical F/A-18F two seat Super Hornet modified for EW (electronic warfare) and SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses). It's job is the protection and defense of other US aircraft when entering a hostile combat zone. The E/A-18Gs are the newest Super Hornets in the fleet, eventually replacing all the E/A-6B Prowlers being used today. VAQ-129 (Vikings) is the first squadron selected to transition to the new, faster jet. Seen on the wingtip stations in my video are the AN/ALQ-218 wideband receiver pods. At the end of the video you will find a few of my still shots from March as well (any are available for purchase by email).

  • I miss those times out there already. Great shots of the Growlers. Got to love Growler 1's tail flash!
