The A-6 is an all-weather, two-seat, carrier-based attack aircraft. It has excellent slow-flying capabilities with full span slats and flaps. The A-6 worked around the clock in Vietnam, conducting attacks on the targets with a pinpoint accuracy unavailable through any other aircraft at that time. The A-6 was flown by the US Navy and US Marines during the Vietnam war.
