The Super Bugs produce quite a racket. They are actually louder than the Tomcat they replaced. Navy has had a tough time in Oceana & Key West with them and the JSF is going to be almost twice as loud! http://www.stoptheplanes.com/Quote:

I remember when the f-22 appeared at the airshow at Jones Beach a few years ago- man was that loud....

A few more shots of "The Growler" can be seen here if interested
http://fredkopf.smugmug.com/Military-Av ... 2121_Fbux4
I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed the jammer pods huh. First shot of the " Growler " I've seen.
Why are there three hard points with ECM pods. One usually does the job.
Senga
so it can carry party poppers silly! :borat:
It is also nice to carry more gas so it can stay and party longer 8)
FYI- I rode by FRG today to check out the improvements New Highway and I saw the DIRECTV Blimp was there also. :borat:
I talked to one of the crew and it's in town for the Phillies/ Yankees game on Thurs. night for the MLB Network.
Thanks Chris, I know where I'm going tomorrow! :borat:
How are the improvements?
New Hwy is finally fixed!!!!Quote:

DirecTV Blimp has been kicking around the Northeast; I saw it moored at PNE a week or two ago.
Sounds like it might be back at FRG next week again for more Mets games too. :wink:Quote:

They can actually carry up to 5 pods. The EA-6B also carries multiple pods - they can be used to jam different frequency ranges.Quote:

John,
Wow I assumed by now they would have had enough tech to utilize one ECM pod to cover all the frequency ranges instead of three using up other hard points.
Either way what an amazing aircraft the EA-6B Prowler is. I had a chance to shoot a line of active A-6 Intruders (EA-6B predecessor) in 1995 but I because I ran out of film right when I got to them.

Nice, saw the blimp heading up the East River this morning.
3 HH60's from the Army Guard took off from Sheltair about 3pm today in a "flight formation." Was just walking out to lunch, didn't have the camera ready.
What no Hornets this week?
I don't know if he stopped by FRG or not but I saw Chuck Aaron (Red Bull Heli) leaving NY today in the Red Bull Helicopter.
Where was that?Quote:

I heard a copter using the call sign "4EH" and I knew it sounded familiar. From what I gather he wanted to fly
east along the south shore but i dont think the visibilty was that great (fog?) so he worked with FRG and flew a
NE heading instead. This was around 2:30 or so.
Wonder if he was in town the whole week after the Red Bull race on Sunday.
Im telling you nothing gets by us (this board)!!!! :lol: :lol:

It's funny you say that because when I was watching him fly over he made a left and circled over the house and changed his course this must have been when he was working with the tower. He must have been in NY since the Jones Beach Airshow so he must be happy to be coming home.
Also there was some action at FRG today with the Direct TV blimp.
Well, he did perform up at the Rhode Island Air Show this weekend; on Saturday he flew around 11:30, but I'm not sure when he flew on Sunday. Probably around the same time.Quote:

It would be cool to see him stop by for the night but sounds like he's already bugged out.
Not sure if this is the right thread - but we shot the Direct TV airship from the air over NYC while doing a photo mission a few months back. They were moored over in KCDW, so this explains why we haven't seen them in a while. :idea:
