Grumman A-6E Intruder
The A-6 Intruder is an American twinjet all-weather carrier-capable attack aircraft, later adapted as an aerial tanker in the dedicated KA-6D version or by the buddy store system.
Designed for the US Navy and USMC to replace the A-1 “Skyraider”, the type first flew on April 21, 1960, entering squadron service in February 1963 and making its combat debut during the Vietnam War.
The crew consists of two: a pilot and a bombardier/navigator seated side by side. The E-2C uses two Pratt & Whitney J52 axial-flow turbojet engines mounted to the fuselage sides under the wings. Five hardpoints:4 under the wings and one under the fuselage can carry 8,200 kg )18,000 lb) of stores.
