I know, that I've made already two profiles for this GB, but I've making now a real-life series of profiles, so, two paint schemes is more relax for me. Both profiles have theirs backstory in one topic: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,30273.0.html

The French Grummans: L'Intrus Electrique et Le Rôdeur

Backstory:
I always liked the design of Clemenceau and Foch and after researching them and the aircraft they carried I felt the need to beef up their air wings in my alt history.  They never really had a dedicated ECM aircraft so following Vietnam France decided to rectify the situation and bought several Grumman EA-6A "Electric Intruders" for evaluation.  Thoroughly impressed with the aircraft they ordered 3 Squadrons worth, taking delivery of the first batch in early 1977.  The Electric Intruder served admirably in front line service seeing action in South America with Allied forces off Argentina in 1981 and 1982.  Following the introduction of the new four-seat EA-6B Prowler in 1979, France chose to upgrade their Naval ECM fleet with the new jets and took delivery in early 1980.  The Electric Intruders weren't done though.  The surviving aircraft were transferred over to the l'Armée de l'Air where they continued to serve with distinction through the end of the 1990's finally being replaced with EA-6D Prowler IIs in 2002.

Grumman EA-6A Electric Intruder: Flotille 17, FN Clemenceau (R-98) Falklands Invasion 1981


Grumman EA-6A Electric Intruder: EC 2/11 Opération Daguet 1991 (Code name for the French force sent to Desert Shield/Storm)
