EA-6B Prowler

The EA-6B Prowler might be better named the "protector" since its mission is to protect the aircraft carrier fleet to which it is assigned. It is equipped with sophisticated electronic gear that jams and disables enemy radar, communications and armaments.

The crew consists of a pilot and three electronic countermeasure officers (ECMOs) - one to handle navigation, commuications and defensive countermeasures and two to operate the ALQ-99 jamming systems.

The Prowler also carries the HARM, a air-to-surface missle for destroying enemy radar installations. While the Prowler can operate from land based fields, it is most often based on carriers.

As you can see from the pictures below, Turgot Piskin has modeled the Prowler for our Platinum Collection in high detail. We invite you to take the Prowler out for a free test flight to enjoy the view.
