• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Whidbey Island EA-6B Prowler Down

There are quite a few IR and VR routes that track across eastern Washington. I spent four years at Whidbey in the VA community back in the 70's, we had jets on those routes all day long, five days a week. Don't have much time to punch out if something goes wrong on a low-level. Hand salute and RIP to the flight crew. :salute:
 
What a shame. God's speed to their souls.

I've watched the Intruders and Prowlers over many years fly down the Columbia River Gorge and over the Yakima Firing Center.
 
I have seen many of these "Electric Six" aircraft onboard the Nimitz and Lincoln, sad to see another one lost, especially the aircrew in terms of human life that can never be replaced ... Mike
