One of five “Intruder II” development aircraft built, on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. Intended as an upgrade for the successful A-6E, it was to feature the GE F404 turbofan, new avionics and two more wing pylons, bringing the number of stations to seven. The first flight of the A-6F was on Aug. 2, 1987. The A-6F program got cancelled when the US Navy preferred the A-12 Avenger II, which in turn was cancelled.
