Summary
Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma played an important role in United States Marine Corps aviation history recently as three EA-6B 'Prower' electronic-warfare attack jets of Marine Electronic Attack Squadron Two stopped in for gas as they flew to retirement at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona on Nov. 28-29, 2018. The EA-6Bs of VMAQ-2 'Jesters' were based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, and were the last of the venerable jets to be flown to long-term desert storage from the final USMC operating squadron. While three additional EA-6B airframes remain at Cherry Point, these will end up in museums or as 'gate-guards' at Marine Corps bases on the East Coast. The EA-6B has served the USN and USMC since the 1960s. It has been replaced in USN service by the Boeing EA-18G 'Growler,' but the USMC mission will end on Friday March 8, 2019, at the 'Sundown Ceremony' for the EA-6B and VMAQ-2.
