"5:29 the Growler can reach a maximum speed of over 1,200 MPH"(sic) Clean at altitude not dirty and with pods hung the Growler is Mach limited to 0.95. "8:58 and is equipped with an M61A1 20 mm cannon."(sic) Incorrect. The EA-18G is not equipped with the cannon its having been removed to accommodate elements of the ALQ-218. No excuse for such gaffes/misinformation.
I thought the growler couldn't carry a gun due to the radar+ electrics in its nose?
Correct. The cannon was removed to accommodate elements of the ALQ-218.
You are correct. No 20mm cannon on board.
Sadly one such aircraft was lost on a night flight l believe over the Mt Rainier area with both crewmen losing their lives.
