That is correct, the Marine Corps will not receive any EA-18G Shockers (growlers), and the Electronic Attack mission for the Marine Corps will go away with the Prowler...

This thread needs a zapper

I think this would work too...

After the Navy rids itself of the Prowler in a few years, the Marine Corps will take over the Prowler RAG, move it to Cherry Point, and make Brett the CO.

My personal favorite, the G in the colors of the Fighting Two Hundred and Ninth....

Unfortunately, unless politics and $$ change significantly, it's the only G you'll ever see in VAQ-209 livery...

Couple of Shocker pics

Courtesy of the fellas at ARC. It seems strange to see an F/A-18 with "VAQ" on the spine.

Yep, see more and more "18's" flying up here in Whidbey everyday. Oak Harbor is going to really start growing soon with all the "Growler" maint support, MMA facility construction and of course all the new A/C programmed to be stationed here.

Just an uneducated guess but a Long Baseline Interferometer (LBI) Antenna?

 

[jus2mch]

Good enough for me.

I thought this was the shocker
