Naval Airmen recover Growler during RED FLAG
U.S. Navy Air Controlman First Class Cameron French, a leading petty officer, and Airman Samuel Akomolafe, a plane captain trainee, both assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 209, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash., inspect an EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, Aug. 7, 2015, following a RED FLAG-Alaska (RF-A) 15-3 sortie to ensure the jet maintains operational readiness at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. RF-A is a Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercise for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.
