The ‘Zappers’ of VAQ-130 were established as VW-13 in September 1959. They were given their current designation in October 1968 and were the first squadron to operate the Grumman EA-6B Prowler. They fly out of NAS Whidbey Island, WA and were aboard the USS Kennedy (CV-67) with CVW-3 during the Persian Gulf War. This is the subdued version of the current squadron patch.
