Winner winner!!!!

I was really looking for the Navy version A-3D Skywarrior but the last clue probably made it an easyier find.


1. One pilot, total crew of 3 sometimes more depending on which version it was.         &n bsp;Up to 7 on the Navy version
2. Depending on the branch of service it might have had two pilots.          ;           ;          Airforce had dual controls
3. High wing
4. Nose dragger but occasionally used the tailwheel too!         &n bsp;         &n bsp;         &n bsp;         &n bsp;     The A-3 had a tailwheel so when they landed it was 4 down and locked
5. More than one engine        2 engines
6. Fast for its time         &n bsp;        .80 mach cruise still consideed fast
7. Never used as it was originally intended (thank goodness)        &nb sp;         Str ategic Carrier Nuclear bomber.
8. Multi service user but none operated by a foreign country to that of Manufacture.
9. In later years some were used as executive transport. The Secretary of the Navy fitted out as a fast transport
10. Only operated by one service for 19 years    USAF
11. The other service flew it quite extensively last flight was 1991 After 35 years of service.   USNavy
12. What is probably the very last flight of any of this airframe was 2011 when two were flown to Museums. Seveveral were on loan to Hughes for flying test beds One was flown to NAS Whidbey Island and the other flown to NAS Pensacola the same year.
13. Originally designed without ejection seats for the crew because of its mission as a high altitude nuclear bomber and to save weight.
14. No ejection seats is often cited as the reason they lasted so long..... Some times called A-3D for all three dead
15. One was shot down in East Germany by a MIG 21 after the airplane had a compass problem. The crew (3) ejected and were recovered and were repatriated.   Correction it was shot down by a MIG-19

Wooo Hooo!

Wining again. It took some time and a lot of reading to find this.

I was not sure which exact one to post so took a swipe at this one.

Nice looking jet.

OK try this for size.

1. Powered by an air cooled radial engine.
2. Tri cycle landing gear. Tail dragger (some times ).
3. Used by the Marines, Army and Navy.
4. Design intended for ASW.
