This month in AIR International we feature a first-of-a-kind supplement on the US Navy’s EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft with some exclusive coverage. We feature combat operations into Libya, coverage of the EA-18G’s development, its ongoing test and evaluation, training at NAS Whidbey Island, Growler’s maiden cruise aboard the USS George H W Bush, and a look at future Australian Growlers.
Also detailed is the electronic attack mission, the threat posed by surface-to-air missiles, and the electronic warfare, jamming and weapons systems integrated on the aircraft.

As with every issue of AIR International there’s a bunch of other stuff in this bumper 116-page issue.
