Five years ago, on Friday March 8th, 2019 the final Grumman EA-6B “Prowler” was sun downed by the US Marine Corps at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point by VMAQ-2 “Death Jesters”. This wasn’t just the last mission of that unit, but of the Marine Corps mission of electronic attack as a whole that spanned 42 years, and close to 50 years with the Navy. In that 50 years, the Prowler served in any conflict or mission the US was involved in, either on the Navy side or the Marine side. The Navy sundown their Prowlers in July of 2015, replacing them with the Boeing EA-18G “Growler”. Five years on from the sundown, let’s relive that day, and the meaning that aircraft had to not just one, but two branches of the US Armed Forces.
