Summary
| Description |
English: A Grumman A-6B Intruder (BuNo. 149957, AC-510) of attack squadron VA-75 Sunday Punchers from the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CVA-60) in the summer of 1971. VA-75 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) during a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea from 3 Jun 1971 to 31 Oct 1971. The first ten A-6Bs (BuNos 149949, 149957, and 151588 to 151595) were obtained by stripping off most of the attack systems of existing A-6As, and substituting them with specialized equipment that could detect radars from surface-to-air missiles. They were equipped with the AGM-78 Standard anti-radiation missile, visible on the left inboard pylon of AC-510. |
