Owl,

Of course, it¹s academic now, but rockets would have made the A-6 a pretty
decent FAC(A) platform. It had the requirements: a strike trained crew of
two, legs, and the ability to mark (e.g. rockets). I think the Intruder
would have worked just fine in that role‹heck, the Tomcat did it!

Woody,

Rockets are fun, I agree, but why burden Medium Attack (which had better
things to do with its system) with a day-VMC mission when the SLUFs and the
Bugs could do it as well / better?

BTW, I have four evil Commie bus hulks on the B-17 range complex at Fallon to
my credit, denied to the enemy by FFAR strikes.
