A-6 Intruder Tribute

Members of the A-6 Intruder Association will be unveiling an Intruder Tribute at 1000 on 17 May 2019 at the Havelock Tourist and Event Center. Guest speakers include Captain T-Lad Webb, USN, Retired and Intruder Association President; MajGen Tom Braaten, USMC, Retired, and Director East Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation; Havelock Mayor Will Lewis; and MajGen Martin Post, USMC, Retired. The Intruder Tribute is a 9 foot tall black granite obelisk containing a four panel collage of laser etched Intruder photographs, graphics, and general aircraft information. The Tribute educates visitors about the A-6 Intruder and the Intruder Community, thereby "Preserving the Legend of the Intruder". The Havelock site was selected for having aviation interests, visitor and foot traffic in and around the Havelock Tourist and Event Center, and the A-6 Intruder on static display nearby.
Havelock is the fifth Intruder Tribute location. The other four Tribute sites are the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL; the Cradle of Aviation in Garden City, Long Island, NY; the Museum of Flight, Seattle, WA; and the Naval Aircraft Carrier Memorial Park, Virginia Beach, VA.
The A-6 Intruder Association consists of a membership of Marine Corps and Navy A-6 aviators, maintenance personnel, civilians, and other aviation individuals. The Intruder Tribute is an Intruder Association Program with the goal of providing the history and legacy of the venerable A-6 Intruder.
