Good evening Hope, thank you for our Pledge Of Allegiance, and prayers for our Troops!
First introduced to Naval Aviation in 1963 the Intruder was the Navy's go to aircraft for any weather low level attack duties for 34 years. The A6 made every conflict from Vietnam to Gulf War One. Not designed to fill a flashy role, the A-6 could haul a boatload of ordanance in any weather and deliver it with pinpoint accuarcy to boot.
On with the pics...
First up the nose shot, only this time the A-6 is on the catapult and on the way...
A nice inflite study of an A-6 from VA-36 on the USS Nimitz
Another inflite shot of an Intruder
A pair of A-6s make a pass for the photographers
Did I mention that the A-6 was a bomber? Check out the ordance on this Intruder, looks like a load to rival the B-17!
And if you are running low on the ol' jet fuel it's nice to know that the A-6 can help you out.
Well that it for tonights Flyby back tomorrow with the Saturday Sortie.
Regards
