A-6 Intruder

The A6 comes in two major versions, the A-6A, a two seater used for both bombing and as a tanker, and the EA-6B a four seat electronics countermeasures version called the prowler. The A6 intruder was manufactured by Grumman Aircraft Company

Bombardier - your post is wrong on many levels. First and foremost, the A-6A was flown during VIETNAM. The A-6B was flown concurrently as a Shrike carrying "Ironhand" version for taking out SAM's and ZSU's. It was upgraded to the A-6E TRAM (Target Recognition Multi Sensor) version with a FLIR, laser designator and upgraded Norden APQ-156 radar, in the early 1980's, the version I flew. And although the E can be outfitted with a "buddy store" to fly as a tanker, it was only done when there are a shortage of tankers. There is a dedicated KA-6D tanker version. The EA-6B is the 4 seat ECM version but believe it or not, there are still 2 seat EA-6A's still flying with a couple of reserve squadrons.

Just a little advice, do some more research before you post.
