Delivered to the US Navy in 1979 and dumped at the Mountain Home (ID) range after it stranded with technical problems at Mountain Home AFB in early 1995. VA-35 was disestablished on 31 January 1995 and it appeared to be too expensive to repair the Intruder and fly it back to homebase NAS Oceana (VA) for such a short period. The Intruder was last seen in april 1995 at a range. Most probably it was completely destroyed by (air to ground) weapons, just south of Mountain Home is a fake-airfield, Saylor Creek Range, possibly it resided there.
