I'm pretty sure that jet ended up back in that squadron - where it stayed for quite a few years and made too many appearances in my logbook.
Bureau Number (BUNO) 158542 is made up of three EA-6Bs pieced together as one. The unorthodox method for building an airplane has been dubbed ̶0;Franken-Prowler.”
Franken-Prowler is the result of the efforts of NAVAIR Depot, Jacksonville, Fla. Their goal is to provide the fleet with an additional Electronic Warfare asset by combining the forward fuselage of BUNO 158542, the aft fuselage of BUNO 158547, and pieces of BUNO 156482. The three aircraft were all part of the Advanced Capability (ADVCAP) Program, which aimed to incorporate multiple improvements into the airframe.
