In November 1968, VAH-4 received the EKA-3 version of the Skywarrior and was redesignated as Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 131 (VAQ-131). In 1971, they became the second squadron in the U.S. Navy to receive the Standard version of the EA-6B Prowler. The squadron transitioned to the Expanded Capability (EXCAP) version of the Prowler in 1976, to the Improved Capablility (ICAP) Prowler in 1978, and to the ICAP II Prowler in 1984.[4] In May 2014, they transitioned to the Boeing EA-18G Growler, which they currently operate. The EA-18G expanded the squadron's capabilities to enable more effective prosecution of radar and Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites in an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS), both through air-to-ground weapon employment and precision electronic attack, the latter being the Growler's niche capability. The EA-18G is also a capable air-to-air combat platform. This is their 'THROWBACK' version of the squadron patch and does come with velcro attached.

(Another AV8RSTUFF Creation): This is the EA-18G GROWLER oval patch created by VAQ-131 that shows the EA-18G aircraft inverted to look as if it's an MQ-9 REAPER Drone and says "100 HOURS" underneath. I believe this is referring to some of their roles during combat missions. This patch does not have velcro attached.

This is the entire set of all 5 "Greenie Board" chips that was used to award the pilots of that squadron their "landing grades". The "scoreboard" was hung in the Ready Room for ALL to see, so you really wanted to do well. VAQ-131 refurbished their "board" when they switch from Prowlers to Hornets and we were able to pick these items up from them directly. They are not seen very often, so get them while they last. The entire set is listed below.
