jenko Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The nuclear symbol on the nose (last picture) is interesting. Could some one comment on this please. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Morning Dick, don't think it's 'nuclear', more likely the symbol used to differentiate between the Prowler and Intruder for the carrier landing officer, as the Prowler had a higher landing weight and the arrester wires are pre tentioned for the aircraft landing on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Prowlers were very sharp looking airplanes in their "colorful" days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
