A-6 Intruder - naval jet - the clue is in the images' title... and there are few jets with such a set-back to their tail fin...

The A-6 Intruder was an all-weather, two seat, subsonic, carrier-based attack aircraft. The subsonic A-6 has no spectacular performance or design features but is superbly suited to the particular attack role for which it so carefully tailored. Designed in the late 1950’s, the A-6 prototype made its first test flight in April 1960.

It served as the Navy’s medium-attack mainstay during three decades of conflict, crisis and cold war. The aircraft’s ruggedness and all-weather mission capability made it an awesome asset to Navy and Marine Corps air wings throughout its lifespan. Built by the legendary Grumman "Ironworks," 687 production attack Intruders were accepted by the Navy. A testament to the aircraft’s versatility and longevity was the myriad upgrades and technological enhancements that kept it the world’s premier long-range, all-weather attack aircraft for over 30 years.

A tough and versatile aircraft, the A-6 was called upon to fly the most difficult missions. Its forte was to fly low and alone—in any weather. The all-weather attack jet has seen action in every conflict the US has been involved in since Vietnam. With the ability to carry more ordnance, launch a wider variety of space-age smart weapons, conduct day or night strikes over greater distances on internal fuel than any carrier borne aircraft before or since, and provide mid-air refueling support to other carrier jets, the Intruder represents the most versatile military aircraft in modern times.

...the clue is in the images' title... and there are few jets with such a set-back to their tail-fin... It was an easy 'spot' really since I think it's the only jet with a tail-fin like that ? I decided what it was... then I noticed the image's title...

Hi,

Fredos Curviloft could also be of interest for the airplane enthusiasts among us. I made a wing profile. However, I do not have scaled all profiles exactly.

A very big thank-you to charly2008 for bringing Fredo's latest miracle to my attention, all i have to do now is to learn to use it, but the possibilities are mind blowing, once more thank you charly2008
