NOTE: THE RC PROWLER CAN BE FOUND ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE PAGE.

The Grumman EA-6B Prowler has been the mainstay electronics warfare aircraft of the U. S. Navy since 1971. It was developed from the A-6 Intruder.

The U.S. Navy uses the aircraft as its tactical jamming airborne platform. It is launched from aircraft carriers to perform missions against multi-wave airborne radars and transmissions.

The Prowler was adopted for use by the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marines in 1994.  It is used for all electronic countermeasure missions by the U.S.A.F.

Newer generations of the aircraft, which have received four upgrades since their first deployment, are capable of electronic surveillance.

The Grumman EA-6B Prowler has seen action over Vietnam, during Operation Desert Storm, Bosnia, Yugoslavia, and most recently during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

RC Prowler








There is a rc Prowler EDF 2 channel radio control airplane for sale with a 27" wing span. It is sold at some retailers and doesn't look very impressive.

We received the following email:
"The pictures on the rc airplanes on your page are of an A6 Intruder not an rc Prowler. There is a blurry photo that looks sort of like a rc Prowler, but the ones being sold are definitely an A6 Intruder. The difference is the A6 has one cockpit with two seats and the rc Prowler has two cockpits with 4 seats among a lot of other things. Semper Fi, Kyle Zacharias, CPL (kyle.zacharias @usmc.mil)"

Thank you for writing Kyle. We are sure that our readers will appreciate the information.
