This has to be one of the coolest planes ever

The aircrew consisted of 1 pilot and 3 ECMOs (Electronic Countermeasures Officers) not EWOs. The front left was the pilot, right front was ECMO1 who navigated and ran the search radar and the communication jammer. The 2 backseaters were ECMO2 and ECMO3 who ran the radar jamming equipment.

Was an AT, and worked on the Grumman EA-6B Prowlers, X-CAP and I-CAP versions, com/nav/radar and EW systems, from 77-81, in 2 diff VAQ Squadrons, 4 different carriers. It was an interesting aircraft to work on. I can still remember everything in that lovely bird cage, and being up working on the Football's receivers. Along with humping the pods and all the transmitters. All I need now is to get a whiff of jet fuel, I will have a full blown flash back... LOL What a great aircraft it was...

Living in WA. state, I’ve been to Whidbey Island Air station (DOD home of counter measures a/c), and surrounding areas, we now of course have the EA18 Growler. I’m still partial to the EA6, truth be told!!👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸

The EF-111 was the first electronic countermeasures aircraft. The prowler was slow and could not keep up with most of the aircraft that they were supposed to be helping 😂.

@spannerturnerMWO 11 ай бұрын

True, but the Spark 'Vark was very limited in its jamming abilities. It could only jam with 2 emitters at a time because they were powered by the engines. The Prowler could jam with ALL of its emitters because the Pods provided their own power thanks to that Ram Air Turbine (RAT) on the nose of each pod. Besides, Prowlers would jam from afar. No need to keep up with the strike package. Besides, they always had fighter escorts for protection.

The Prowler is by far the loudest of all the women. Not even an A-10 has the vocal fortitude of this whiny girl.

Correct. However, the loudest plane I ever heard was a French Mirage. I could hear that thing taxiing a thousand feet away from me on the otherside of the Prowler I was going through the startup sequence with, while my bird's engines were running. That Mirage made your teeth rattle!

The F-35 was supposed to be a cost effective compliment to the F-22, and now the USAF is saying they man need a less expensive jet as a low cost compliment to the low cost compliment. We should have built a followon to the F16 and the F-18 and relied on the F22 for penetration roles. The Navy had it right with the EA6. It is cheaper and more effective to jam the enemy. That is what they will do to us.
