The Grumman A-6 Intruder is a US attack aircraft. It was in service between 1960 and 1996.

Mainly, A-6s were used on aircraft carriers, as the U.S. Navy's main carrier attack aircraft for much of the last half of the 20th century. It could carry up to 15,000 lbs. of munitions, among other achievements. The EA-6B Prowler is still used today as an important utility aircraft.
