Plan “A” Retired
The real motivation to get it to the museum was to keep it from getting cut up and hauled off for recycling. There’s several A-6s at NASWI that have their exteriors still intact.As a museum professional the best part of this conversation is reading the aviators who want to see it in “flying condition” and maintainers who see it disassembled and think, “That’s how I remember it!” It’s all about interpretation.
So I believe this one should be left as is representing what the maintainers saw and did.🇺🇸⚓️😉
