I was in Iwakuni at the same time the infamous "Det X-Tended" (Det X-Ray's year-long deployment because of Desert Storm) was there.

The Seahawks came aboard in August 1991 to relieve them. They had EA-6Bs by then.

The problem was that when they went to active duty, they had to get rid of their Seahawks football team logo.

The Seahawks football logo was still on their birds as recently as May of 2001 and the aircrew were all wearing the football logo patch. I took photos of BuSer 158802 with the football logo emblazoned on the "football". These photos are all mid '95 or later.
