The Grumman A-6 Intruder was an American, twin jet-engine, mid-wing attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. In service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps between 1963 and 1997, the Intruder was designed as an all-weather medium attack aircraft.

It was a subsonic, two seat aircraft fitted with the ability to carry up to 15,000 lb or numerous types of munitions. The Intruder was equipped to carry and launch a nuclear bomb and Navy crews regularly planned for assigned nuclear missions.

Because it was a low-flying attack aircraft, an unusual method was developed for launching an atomic bomb. Essentially, as the Intruder approached the target, it would begin a steep climb and release the nuclear bomb. As the bomb continued to climb upwards and forwards, the Intruder would continue climbing, invert, and bug-out in the opposite direction at top speed. This manuver ensured that the plane and crew would have enough time to put enough distance between them and the blast.

Although I didn't outfit this bird with a nuke, she is still strapped to the teeth with 10 missiles and looks pretty too. She has great all around performance, speed, and range.

I spent a lot of time on this craft trying to make it a Replica on par with my A-10 N/AW Thunderbolt II. To accomplish this I implemented a couple modified cone pieces (thanks WalrusAircraft) but no other mods were used.

Enjoy! And keep an eye out for more to come!
