A Marine Attack Squadron (All Waether) 242 "Bats" Intruder at the platform of its homebase El Toro. The squadron converted to F/A-18D in December 1990. This 161680 was retired to AMARC on 17 June 1996 after serving US Navy squadron VA-165. It received inventory code 5A190. The Intruder remained in storage in the Arizona desert up to 10 May 2016 and was shortly after scrapped by HVF West at Tucson.
