And check the enormous reach of the horizontal stabilizers and rudders as well as the camouflage scheme which clearly reveals some new parts on the aircraft.

The Lift Training Center (LTC) at Volk Field is using this electronic Intruder - which is in a sorry state - as an instructional airframe. The a/c was delivered as an A-6A to the US Navy in 1962, it was converted to EA-6A in 1965 and was used by manufacturer Grumman with the Board of Inspection and Survey as a Trials Aircraft. From 1966 onwards it served as an operational with VMCJ-1, VMCJ-2, VMAQ-4, and possibly VAQ-33 and was then sent to be a target on the Harwood Bombing Range (WI). It was later moved to the LTC.

Great to see a Mile High Militia Fighting Falcon crossing the field during Northern Lightning 2017. The very high speed pass was impressive!
