Swing Wing A-5 Vigilante

[Jesse220]

I'm thinking right now that the A-5 Vigilante would be a swing-wing fighter, like the F-14 Tomcat and the F-111 Aardvark for example. What do you say?

I believe I've seen some generic wind-tunnel testing of such a concept.  It would take a major redesign of the center fuselage, though, and would probably be better done from a A3J-2/A-5B or RA-5C airframe than an A3J-1/A-5A airframe.

That might work.
