This was a neat video on the airframe that I worked on for the USMC and VMAQ-3 (which spawned from VMAQ-2 Det Y). However, you did get the year wrong of when VMAQ-2 transitioned over to the Prowler. You stated it was 1997, however, it was 1977.
Since it is an outdoor display, I would really like to see the EA-6B Prowler displayed with the tailhook extended and the wings unfolded. Were the wings folded up for space consideration, or to show the mechanics of the folded wing?
My favorite plane.

Naval aircraft on the ground have their wings folded.
We have limited space so the Prowler will remain folded but we do have the F9 wings down.
