Marine Corps Museum Gets Prowler

Marine Corps Museum Gets Prowler

The Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum added a new aircraft to its historical ranks Feb. 4 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif.

Museum personnel welcomed a Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler, the newest addition to the museum’s aircraft display. The aircraft originated from Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 131 aboard Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash.

“This aircraft has been a long-time Marine aircraft,” said Clyde Cain, Northrop Grumman employee and volunteer with the museum. “We have been fortunate enough to acquire one for our museum as the military transitions to the EA-18G Growlers.”
