the a6 intruder, the pride of the united states navy. all weather carrier based sub sonic
bomber.
this baby has the ability to deliver it's max pay load of about 18000kg to it's target, spot
on at low visibility and rough weather. it was described that the vietnam war could have
been won if it was a stormy night every night, that meant the intruder was able to deliver
it's bombs and anti aircraft would have a hard time shooting or even finding it.
the body shape of the intruder makes it unique and also it's seating configeration of pilot
and bombardier/navigator being side by side. instead of the f-4 or f-14's one behind the
other configeration. kinda feels like being in a car with a navigator. the bombing range of the intruder still exceeds the cabilities of the navy's existing birds. only the sub sonic speed of the intruder makes it open to anti air attacks.
what's your choice of hardware?
