A EA-6B Prowler displayed at Point Mugu Missile Park. 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 a gold-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 (USMC) being retired in March 2019. This aircraft on display was the very last U.S. Navy Prowler to fly, landing at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Point Mugu in 2015.
