Heres a few images of VAQ140 from April 2004 when I was lucky enough to spend some time on CVN-73 GW in the Gulf from where operations were taking place against Fallujah in Iraq... Miss these birds....and several others
Hope they are of interest...

Superb. Lucky you.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Really cool shots there, one part of my two part dream - onboard Carrier Shots & Air to Air
Dreaming I'm always dreaming

Re: Prowlers
Superb No’s 1 & 6 for me. What’s interesting for me is I was at the destination for these sorties.

Brilliant, brilliant shots: more please!

Re: Prowlers
Kev, what a great set, I really like number seven, in fact, I think it's amazing. Well done mate
Re: Prowlers
Hi Kev
Cracking set there
I always thought the Prowler looked as if some bod had grafted the tail from a Spark Vark onto an Intruder
Thanks for posting

Re: Prowlers
Other way round?
EA-6A first flew 1963, the Spark Vark 14 years later

Very nice set Kev,
Another aircraft type gone and very much missed.
Lucky man to get on an active aircraft carrier...... Very large Jam pot
