Being around when NavAir was using Shrikes carried by A-6's to do the same job must then make some folks Super Senior, eh?
Shrike was a good tool but not close to the AGM-78/EA-6 Prowler and the newer stuff (AGM-88/EA18 Growler + AF package...?) must almost be unfair.
Know of guys got simulated dead any number of times by Prowlers when they were first going to the Fleet. Scary ol' bird.
Navair-—A-6’s-—Yup, Super Senior. And I’ll bet you started your old rusty non-nuke carrier with a crank? I remember that horny sailor who shut down the Forrestal with a crank——in the gear box.
