A fighter specially designed for fleet defense was my comment.

You mean the F-14 then ....?

Nah. F-111...

Say, what was that straight wing predecessor of the F111 that didnt get built ?

Duh, thanks, that's the one.

Isn't that just about what our boy is proposing ?

Nothing so sensible I fear.

I vaguely remember a proposal to arm A-6 Intruder with AIM-54 Phoenix.
Probably it was mentioned in "Grumman A-6 Intruder: WarbirdTech Volume
33".

That I don't recall. The A-6F or G (or maybe both) had provision for
AMRAAM, but not Phoenix.

Yes I know about the A-6F/G with AMRAAM. But what I saw in that
WarbirdTech book was not about AMRAAM. IIRC, the proposal was made
before the F nad G models.

Somewhat off-topic, but there was proposed at one time a single-seat variant of the A-6. IIRC, this one lost out early on to the A-7. There is a concept illustration of it somewhere on the web, but I no longer have the URL.

If you thought the A-6 looked slightly weird, this critter looked doubly so.

(I was told this by a very earnest young woman in Berkeley the other day. The look on her face when I asked why she was risking life and limb by angering a soulless killer was worth the lecture.)

Before it received the designation "A6", the original bird emerged from Grumman's drawing boards with another name, A2F, IIRC, under the old designation pattern. Along with a different designator the proposal (and maybe the prototype) arrived with what were intended to be vectored thrust nozzles for the exhausts of its twin engines.

The company already had a history with twins for the Navy, the XF5F-1 (actually flown in cartoon combat by a famous comic squadron, notable for a nose which didn't quite extend to the wing's leading edge), the F7F, a sleek fuselage mated to two big radials, and the S2F "Stoof", stubbier than sleek, with its stablemate, the "commuter" airliner, the C1A.
