| | A-6 Intruder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An advanced A-6F Intruder II was proposed in the mid-1980s that would have replaced the Intruder's elderly Pratt and Whitney J52 turbojets with non-afterburning versions of the General Electric F404 turbofan used in the F/A-18 Hornet, providing substantial improvements in both power and fuel economy. |
 | | The A-6 Intruder was featured in a 1986 novel by Stephen Coonts called Flight of the Intruder, which in 1991 was adapted as movie and a flight simulator video game in the early 1990s, as well as the novel's 1995 sequel, The Intruders. |
 | | A few KA-6Ds went to sea with each Intruder squadron, and the retirement of the aircraft left a gap in USN and USMC refueling tanker capability that was only later remedied by the new F/A-18E Super Hornet, which can act as a tanker. |
