There were a couple of A-6s on the range at Vieques. Up close (less than
100') they didn't look like A-6s, they looked like scrap with all the hits.
Farther away of course, they were recognizeable.

Kinda like all those evil Commie bus hulks that used to infest Cold War-era
ranges.

Besides chopping these old A/C up ...what else is done with them? are
they ever put up for sale?..... for static displays etc..?


Some do end up as static displays. Some end up as targets in bombing
ranges. A whole bunch of A-6s were dumped at sea to form an artificial
reef. And several A-7s are going to be placed on the former USS America
when she is sunk at sea during explosives tests.
