The Prowler is a dedicated electronic warfare variant of the Intruder, stretched to add two more seats. Design particulars include the asymmetrical refueling probe and agold-plated canopy to shield the crew against the electromagnetic emissions that the electronic warfare equipment produces.  Introduced in 1971, only 170 of these versions were built with the last ones being retired in March 2019.  This example on display at the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum is on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum and came directly from VAQ-134 after their deployment to the Persian Gulf. Fuji XE-2s w/18-135mm.
