OAK HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — A squadron of Navy EA-6B Prowlers is due to return this weekend to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station from Afghanistan.

Whidbey spokeswoman Kimberly Martin says the four electronic warfare jets, originally scheduled to come home last month, are now set to return Sunday afternoon.

The land-based squadron, VAQ-134, flew 614 combat missions to support ground troops in Afghanistan during its six-month deployment. Its support and maintenance teams returned to Whidbey two weeks ago.
