    Well, I guess it's time. I hope the next generation of planes can live up to the standard.

    A-6, A-4, F-4, all a generation of tough aircraft that proved their worth.

    Worked with these before I got out in 89. I always thought it was a nice looking plane. Tadpole "ish" but yeah, if it looks right it flies right. Everyone wants a supersonic lawn dart. I'll take one of these, it has room for the kids in back.

    The squadron I was attached to was I think the last squadron of the a6e intruder (va196 Whidbey island). I loved working with both those loud ass dinosaurs. Lol

    The loudest jets I've ever heard. I've been up on the flight deck many times when these were launched.

    • @Orca19904
      @Orca19904 6 лет назад

      Louder than the Tomcat or the Hornet? Quite a feat for a plane with no afterburner.

    • @kevinm.n.5158
      @kevinm.n.5158 3 года назад

      They are certainly louder than a Goshawk but they won't ultrasonically tenderize your organs like an F18 does. Speaking from experience on the flight deck with these.

      The Intruders were 2 seaters, the prowler however had electronic warfare dudes in the back for the ECM mission the EA6 was assigned to

    Prowler...gone. The last of the "Grummans" goes to the retirement..The Growler is a fairly nice replacement, but the electronic warfere "per se" will be fought in other arenas...not in the air..

      @anonymus99boss29 8 лет назад

      There is still the Hawkeye but when the Hawkeye will be gona, by grumman , it's like the navy now hated grumman , only super bugs are left , but don't you worry , grummans turn is coming , it's always grumman than Macdonel douglas , than grumman again, Is the cycle .

      This is why they were nicknamed the "queer" and the "double-ugly"? :-) One pilot and three ECMOs (electronic counter-measures officer).

      The trained eye can see that Q-4 hung a jamming pod, two drops, a HARM and a LITENING pod on their bird.
