A-6A Intruder anti glare panel


Recommended Posts

I have a couple pictures of VA-196 and they have odd looking anti glare

panels in front of the cockpit. The pilots side looks black and the B/N

side looks gray. Also one protrudes further than the other. Never noticed

this before.---John

They could vary in color (none, grey, or black), shape, and size. Some followed panel line, some went to radome joint corner, some went from bottom of canopy interestion, some went to a point. Some extended beyond onto the radome. I've never seen left or right side though being different colors. The upper radome hinge cover boot thing would look dark/black, not sure if that's what you're referring to.

I just looked in my walkaround book. It's an optical

illusion, sort of.the one I saw is skinny, follows a panel

line in front of the windscreen glass then curves in behind

the refueling probe, it does this for both sides THEN there

is another anti glare area in front of the refueling probe sticking

out further than the wind screen ones. Weird, never noticed that

before.---John
