Didn't say there was anything wrong with'em, they're just ugly. As a techno-weenie, I really enjoyed working on and around the EA-6B.
Ugly as it is, it was the coolest plane I was ever around.
I don't know if this is true, but a guy I knew once told me that there was a seagull on the deck of a carrier, and while there was nobody in front of the plane, they turned on the ECM gear, killing the bird...
I also heard that one time an EA6B accidentally knocked out power and communications for several hundred miles along the eastern seaboard.
Are either of these true?
