The electronic countermeasures version of the Intruder was originally developed for the Marines to replace their Douglas Skyknights. This Vietnam War veteran was delivered to Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadron VMCJ-2 on April 23, 1969. After disestablishment of VMCJ-2 , the aircraft transferred to Navy Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron VAQ-309 and flew until that unit's disestablishment in 1994. Broken up sometime after retirement, the nose section ended up with the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run Airport in Michigan.
