My old squadron, VAQ-140 Patriots, flew them. Big, heavy aircraft that was reportedly difficult to fly.

I went to Whidbey island in the fall of ‘71 for A-6 Shoehorn training and started out in an A-6 squadron at Cherry Point, N.C. This was a very dangerous aircraft to work on for us ground personnel.

The Flying Drumstick. The EF-111 was superior in many ways, but the USAF quit the EW field and retired them before their time.
