Electronic Attack Squadron 133 (VAQ-133) was established March 4, 1969 at Naval Air Station Alameda, California. The squadron originally flew the EKA-3B Skywarrior. Then in August 1971, the Wizards relocated to their current homeport
Best Moment Commissioned and Decommissioned (Plank Owner) of the original VAQ-133 when we flew KA-3B's and EKA-3B's. Commander Poore was our CO, promoted to ATR-3 while on a West-Pac aboard the "Connie". This promotion enabled me to go right to the shop as a flightdeck troubleshooter and avoid the Line Shack. The second West-Pac (Kittyhawk), I was TAD to Cubi Point AIMD where I worked "I-level" on ECM and ESM equipment.
