Worked with these before I got out in 89. I always thought it was a nice looking plane. Tadpole "ish" but yeah, if it looks right it flies right. Everyone wants a supersonic lawn dart. I'll take one of these, it has room for the kids in back.
The squadron I was attached to was I think the last squadron of the a6e intruder (va196 Whidbey island). I loved working with both those loud ass dinosaurs. Lol
They are certainly louder than a Goshawk but they won't ultrasonically tenderize your organs like an F18 does. Speaking from experience on the flight deck with these.
Prowler...gone. The last of the "Grummans" goes to the retirement..The Growler is a fairly nice replacement, but the electronic warfere "per se" will be fought in other arenas...not in the air..
There is still the Hawkeye but when the Hawkeye will be gona, by grumman , it's like the navy now hated grumman , only super bugs are left , but don't you worry , grummans turn is coming , it's always grumman than Macdonel douglas , than grumman again, Is the cycle .
Use the best ea 6b airframes and Countersmeaurse systems for usmc, US navy and marines,marines not using Growlers.object retention of ecw officers, stop spending useless dollars commands, marines are not high technology assets, a29 or ov10z,ah1z and more anti tank weapons, let usn worry about cap
Brings a tear to my eye seeing them make flybys back in San Diego
Well, I guess it's time. I hope the next generation of planes can live up to the standard.
that's debteable.
I just love this aircraft. I want one so I can fly my family around. LOL
A-6, A-4, F-4, all a generation of tough aircraft that proved their worth.

VMAQ-3 Moondogs! Sad to see them go. Great aircraft and great memories
Great plane, now I guess I'm officialy old!
I'll always miss the years with Q3. God bless you all my brothers and sisters.
Always one of my favorites.

VA-75 retired the last A-6E at Oceana in February 1997.
1st was the F14... now the Prowler... :(
😢😢😭
😢😢😭
No 1st was the a7, than the a6 , than the f14 , no the prowler ,only super bugs now
anonymus99 boss i only cared about the F14 then the prowler, so there you go.
@@anonymus99boss29 now the S-3 as well. All of these aircraft, deserve to still be in service. There's still a chance that they'll return to service
The loudest jets I've ever heard. I've been up on the flight deck many times when these were launched.
Louder than the Tomcat or the Hornet? Quite a feat for a plane with no afterburner.

'Let's go downtown!!' =)
Wrong aircraft...that was an A-6.
Great video!
I loved watching the prowler fly around NAS Whidbey Island, boy were they loud.
Danieljay Stevens hey me too!
Electron me 3
The Prowler and S-3 Viking, my favorites!
Sempe Fi....fair winds!
That was pretty 👍🏻 nice😌
Press F to pay respects.
muito bom,amei.
never knew these were 4 seaters.
The Intruders were 2 seaters, the prowler however had electronic warfare dudes in the back for the ECM mission the EA6 was assigned to
A serious team

Great!
Хорошо смотритесь! Когда идёте боевым порядком! Ол-райт! Сказал Миклухо-Маклай!
She was magnificent while she lasted!
How many pilots does this aircraft have?, it's sad that they will be retired, their one of the most sweet looking planes I have ever seen,
It has 4 seats, holds up to 4 people.
This is why they were nicknamed the "queer" and the "double-ugly"? :-) One pilot and three ECMOs (electronic counter-measures officer).
Bring on the F35! It’ll perform in the intruders absence.... did anyone hear the sarcasm.
Pasa filmacion por etapa

Lame. Just drop tanks. HARM no ALQ-99 Jamming pods, just airplanes punching a hole in the sky
The trained eye can see that Q-4 hung a jamming pod, two drops, a HARM and a LITENING pod on their bird.
