VAQ-129 is a reserve outfit from Whidbey Island Washington. They fly the EA-6B Prowler on carriers. Modex 911 falls easily into the "workhorse" carrier plane mode. It's filthy, smoking rivets, air superiority grey in several different tones and applications warts and patches all over. a true combat steed.
The crew is all reserve. I was in my element! Showing them how to operate the ugly thing and slamming things around. I fully expect a puddle of fluids around it by Sunday. I need to show them how to tow it backwards by the tiedowns or the tailhook, enough to fuel it. Or maybe "hot-pit" it with motors running and self power.
