Probe in the trap with a center light. Otherwise it would have been MISTRAP.
BTW, FMRAM, you don't have a hair on your prior enlisted @ss if you don't come back to the Prowler community.

On balance, no. Prowler squadrons are manned for 7 pilots now and that may increase by one or two in a G squadron, but once the G model is online, expeditionary Prowler squadrons (3) will go away, so having 5-6 jets per squadron wont really result in more community pilots.
Brett
Why are the expeditionary squadrons going away? Wont the airforce still need the navy for tatical electronic jamming or will they finally fill that mission themselves?
We've given them fair warning and they are supposed to be developing their own EA assets. As the transition plan stands right now, expeditionary goes away when Shocker is up and running.

Wasn't really talking about Waveoff, just speaking in general terms.
But - good for Waveoff. Hope it was a succesful landing.
To continue the threadjack...
Why did the air force give up their EF-111 Ravens? An air force guy (therefore highly suspect in objectivity) told me it was better at EA than the Prowler but politics gave the nod to the navy/Marine Prowlers (see again objectivity).
I'm not an EA expert, so is there any truth to that?

The EF-111 had the exact same system and Pods as the Prowlers, so it sounds like BS to me. I don't know the specific reasoning behind it, but suspect it had lots to do with killing the F-111 and not wanting to financially and logistically support a legacy airframe.
