[edit] A-5 Vigilante

Under Header : Develpoment

Article states:

Despite the Vigilante's useful service, it was expensive and complex to operate, and it was phased out after the end of the Vietnam War. Disestablishment of RVAH squadrons began in 1974, with the last Vigilantes completing their final deployment in September 1979.

In correction. While on deployment in 1985 onboard the USS Estocin (FFG-15), during numerious carrier ops (Plane Guard). I watched for 200 - 300 feet away as RA-5C Vigilantes returned from sorties, conducted carrier quals, touch & goes, and Cat shots in the Indian Ocean. This was from approx. Dec 1984 through Feb 1985. 155.104.37.17 09:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
