The A-6 Intruder entered service in the mid-60s as ground-attack carrier-based aircraft to replace the outdated planes as the propeller-driven A-1 Skyraider and the A-3 Skywarrior. The Grumman Corporation developed and designed the A-6A. based on U.S. Navy specifications. a twin jet-engine all-weather medium attack aircraft able to operate from American aircraft carriers. The “Intruder” was characterized by a sturdy and robust fuselage and by the two side-by-side seat cabin configuration for the pilot and the weapons officer. To satisfy the U.S. Navy operatives needed a tanker aircraft to provide aerial refueling support to strike aircraft. so in 1970 the K-A6D version was born. Directly derived from the A-6A airframe. the K-A6D was fitted with an internal hose and reel refueling package and with the adoption of extra underwing pylon tanks.
