The Aircraft
The A-6E Intruder was one of the most versatile combat aircraft in the US Navy’s inventory. Serving faithfully for 30 years, this attack platform was also used as a tanker. Prematurely retired in 1996, there is so far no clear replacement for this aircraft. The Navy currently uses the F/A-18 Hornet as a replacement but it has neither the range nor the versatility of the Intruder.
