Photo Comment

From new in 1970 served Electronic Attack Squadrons (VAQ) 129, 130, 140, 137 and 129 (all at NAS Whidbey Island, WA). In 1996 transferred to Strike Aircraft Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 (VX-23), NAS Patuxent River, MD, then VX-9 at NAS China Lake, CA before going back to Pat River with VX-23. It has been preserved at Pensacola since 2010, at which time it was the oldest active EA-6B, in the marks of that last unit
