@diadorim1234 Also for a a lot of years the USN had two sizes of carrier. WW2 Essex class ships & the newer super carriers. The Small Essex decks could not handle the F-4 or A5 & A6. So the need for jets like the A-4 & F-8 Crusader to do the same jobs.

@diadorim1234 Actually they were different & not made at the same time. The F-4 Was designed as a fleet defense fighter. Job? defend the fleet from enemy jets & escort the attack planes. The A6 is a all weather precision strike plane. Job? Fly at night & weather with bombs or missiles with radar & infra red sensors. The A-7 was a replacement for the A4 as a light attack plane.

The US Navy had 3 fighter bombers: Corsair II, Intruder and Phantom. Why did they develop 3 different aircraft that could perform the same duty? And what is the difference between the 3 aircraft?

You are a dumbass. Why don't you go live in communist Vietnam, China or Cuba and see what fascism is? The US wrote the book on freedom, not fascism! Jackass.

@008devlin Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing (I haven't seen this movie since I was little and didn't understand it, I just liked the planes) but it IS a war story about bomber pilots in Vietnam; there's gonna be some macho camaraderie and possibly even some bombing involved - Would you have made it differently so it didn't seem like propaganda, or do you think it's just a story that doesn't deserve to be told?

I prefer the original book "Flight of Intruder" by Stephen Coonts.

Haven't seen this movie yet. Saw that it was one of 4 movies made with the USS Ranger. Did notice the VA-145 insignia on one bulkhead. I rode the Ranger for all together year and half with VAQ-131.

@jasbigj Love that movie, I bought the Blu Ray recently.
I was a crew member of the USS Independence when they filmed this in December 1989.

I have flown in the Skyraider in the end scenes of this vid. I flew with the stunt pilot from the movie and we recreated the low level pass for an airwhow. 350 knots at 50 feet into a 4 g pull up to a wingover. Very exciting...and dangerous.
