'Flying Leathernecks' To Unveil Northrup Grumman EA-6B Prowler

Community Invited To Attend Special Event Being Held February 28th

The Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum and Historical Foundation welcomed the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar today. The aircraft is being prepared for display, and the museum is inviting the public to attend the unveiling ceremony this month.

The event will be held February 28th at 1400 PST at the museum on MCAS Mirimar.

According to Northrop Grumman, the EA-6B Prowler is the U.S. Navy’s and U.S. Marine Corps’ tactical jamming aircraft. It joined the fleet in January 1971 and has gone through four major upgrades.
 
The Prowler’s primary role has been to protect fleet surface units and strike aircraft by jamming enemy radar and communications, and perform electronic surveillance. The latest upgrade, the ICAP III System, delivers more powerful and additional tools to the warfighters, be they in the air, at sea or on the ground.

The Foundation actively supports the operation of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar Command Museum (Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum) located on MCAS Miramar. We accomplish the mission by providing a volunteer base to support day-to-day operations and by providing financial support to augment austere DoD budgets.
