Thought some might find this interesting/cool. I was looking through photos on airliners.net and saw a photo of the first detachment of Growlers. The plane is with VAQ-129 Vikings.

I just realized this topic might be better off in the Real Life Military forum. If someone from MAIW wants to move this thread please do. :)

Thanks...
interesting, what's that stuff attached to the wing tips? Kind of electronic jamming pod?

I think its the ALQ-99 jamming system from the EA-6B repackaged for the aircraft.

Now if only we knew somebody that was interested in modelling the F-18 :lol: .
