The WHALES of DESERT STORM

An aging pair of VQ-2 EA-3Bs found themselves helping coordinate and guide coalition strike packages through dangerous Missile Engagement Zones. EA-3B 004 and 006 provided an outstanding service of information to the US Navy and Air Force strike packages heading in to Iraq, on long interdiction sorties. The electronic warfare equippment, manned by 4 specialists in the former bomb bay, along with the 3 flight crew helped the EA-3s carry out effective scouting of Iraqi radar sites, though flying on the borders of Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
