This Prowler belonged to Electronic Attack squadron 133 Wizards ('NL-53x'). The aircraft just received its new modex as 3 was repainted. The reason behind this was that the aircraft just swapped with another Prowler and VAQ-132 ('NL-54x') provided an aircraft to VAQ-133. The Wizards, based at NAS Whidbey Island (WA) and commanded by the Commander Electronic Attack Wing Pacific (CVWP), deployed to Bagram from August 2004 to January 2005. This Prowler was struck off the US Navy inventory in July 2011. The Wizards swapped to EA-18G Growler.
