    Notes: When the Navy gifted the school this A-6 they had promised several pallets worth of spare parts. After the arrival of the airframe the school inquired about the parts; the Navy said the extra parts were sold as scrap. Cementing this aircrafts status as a gate keeper and only ever that. Engines and avionics are still onboard.
