Blast from the past. A-5 Vigilante.



The A-5 Vigilante.

When it looks right it is right and the Vigilante looks right. 

Even today. 

I can only imagine what one of these planes could do with modern avionics...engines and fly by wire controls!  The Navy would have a long range two man strike bomber that it could use in medium threat areas.

If any airplane could perform the modern day F-111/F-15E strike mission from a carrier then it would be a brand new Vigilante!

But enough spitting in the wind.  More on this beauty is here.
