Talk:Boeing EA-18G Growler

message: this is probably a stupid question, but, are these going to be conversions or new airframes? am i right in thinking that the original ea-6's were converted a-6's?Toyokuni3 (talk) 18:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The production EA-18G will be new.  They are produced on the same line as the F/A-18E/Fs.  Not sure if the EA-6Bs were A-6 conversions or not. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I also read in a magazine that all F/A-18Fs coming off the line (as of a year or two ago) come with all the wiring to convert them into EA-18Gs later, if the Navy wants to. - Father Inire (talk) 09:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conversions?

message: Someone should look into or at least note that the performance characteristics are not appropriate.  It may look like an E/F, but there's more difference than similarity in flight.  Wikipedia is better off with NO data than bad data.  I cannot legally correct it. - anon  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.8.57 (talk) 13:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, Mr. "Navy Network Information Center" of Pensacola Florida, I'll look into it, but I'll note that the Aussies are getting some Fs that are wired to function as Gs.  So the airframe differences are not as great as the doodads you hang on the hardpoints.  Hcobb (talk) 13:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Do you mean flight restrictions due to external pods or what?  The only difference in the airframe is some smoothing at the wing's dogteeth notches. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I really doubt that the F/G have the same range as the E with less gas.  Hcobb (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What range are you talking about? I'm sure they don't have the same absolute range, but they were probably designed to have the same combat/mission range... otherwise you'd have the jammers turning back halfway into the mission. -SidewinderX (talk) 14:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Performance

message: Looks like Da Navy is yanking the NGJ off the F-35 faster than a baby seal gets skinned. So let's move the NGJ "home" back to this article, until it grows enough to make its own home.

The SATCOM system was installed on a Navy EA-18G Growler -- a variant of the F/A-18F that includes a SATCOM antenna.
:Ref leaves me puzzled. Do all Growlers (but not other Super Hornets) have the SATCOM antenna? (If so we should mention it here.) Or was it that one specific aircraft that had the antenna bolted on? Hcobb (talk) 07:13, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't see how this is supported by the given ref (or anything else I've seen). At most it is noted that Canada would be allowed to purchase this variant, but they have expressed no real interest in it. Hcobb (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
