}} Some pictures of an Intruder.
I think it should also be noted that this aircraft has NO defense once in the air other then flares and chaff. All of its weapons are used to hit ground targets.
Unless of course you configure it to fly sidewinder which Ive only seen done once.--NavyAO2(AW) 22:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor Incorrectness of Statement
"In addition, the Intruder used AMTI (Airborne Moving Target Indicator) which allowed the plane to track a moving target (such as a tank or truck) and drop ordnance on him even though the target was moving."
The letter preceeding MTI designates the type of target the mode applies to, not the type of platform used. In this case, a plane looking at the ground would be using GMTI (see the JSTARS article). A plane looking at other planes would be using GMTI. I'm switching the letter to note this. 192.160.51.70 12:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Refueling probe
I think some mention should be given in this article to the refueling probe, as it is a particularly striking and unique feature of this aircraft. However, I'm not sure to which section it should be added according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft. Anyone have a good idea? —Brim 19:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
