Naval Air Station Sigonella, Sicily (Mar. 24, 2003) -- Aviation Mechanics from the "Gray Wolves" of Electronic Attack Squadron One Forty Two (VAQ-142) work on an EA-6B Prowler from Electronic Attack Squadron One Thirty Two (VAQ-132). The EA-6B made an emergency landing following a blowdown of the landing gear. A blowdown is a forced release of nitrogen to lower landing gear in the case of an emergency.  The Naval Air Station provides logistical support for all Sixth Fleet and NATO forces in the Mediterranean Sea.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Damon J.
