A heavily-loaded EA-18G Growler leaves a wake of afterburner exhaust and wingtip vortices as it slowly lifts off the runway for a training mission during Gray Flag on Sept. 24, 2024 at Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu. Gray Flag is an annual large-force test event that brings the joint force together to test and evaluate multi-domain systems in a maritime environment, ensuring our nation’s warfighters are equipped with effective, interoperable systems that will help them deter aggression, protect our nation’s prosperity and security, and return home safely to their families. The Growler is a two-seat electronics warfare variant of the F/A-18 Hornet. (U.S. Navy photo by Eric Parsons)
