Airman Douglas Shearer, assigned to the Gauntlets of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136, directs an EA-6B Prowler to the flightline on Naval Air Facility (NAF) Atsugi. The “Gauntlets” are flying a trans-Pacific flight of more than 4,200 nautical miles (6,700 km) to arrive at Whidbey Island, Wa. The aircraft are being replaced by the EA-18G Growler of squadron VAQ-141 “Shadow Hawks,” which will occur in early spring 2012. The “Gauntlets” have been part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 for nearly 32 years.
