Couldn't They Find a Better Name?

"Second Growler takes flight". Sounds like something I would say when getting off the *****ter...

Hmmm...that pic looks surprisingly familiar...



Yep..Growler sucks. I don't know who came with that. Maybe they should have called it the "Grinch"....

The EA-18G "Growler"

The super-sonic replacement to the EA-6B "Prowler."



Should prove to be quite the weapons system.



More information here.

It's a fantastic airplane Randy; no doubt. But "Growler"?? Reminds me of the Toyota Racing Development trucks. They will never live down the "TuRD" moniker. Some one should have known better...

I hear ya, Jeff. In fact, personally, I think they should have gone with something much more masculine, like "EA-18G Studd"
