VAQ-133 Wizards

The Wizards of Electronic Attack Squadron 133 fly the EA-18G Growler from NAS Whidbey Island, jamming enemy radar, suppressing air defenses, and clearing the electromagnetic spectrum for strike packages headed to target. The dark arts of electronic warfare have given American naval aviation an asymmetric edge for half a century, and the Wizards are among the most skilled practitioners of those arts in the fleet. Every successful strike owes something to what the Wizards do before the bombs fall.
