VA-115 were called the "Arabs" and their motto was "We get ours at night" in reference to the night/all-weather capabilities of the A6-E Intruder. The wives of the squadon informally referred to themselves as the arabesques and "We get ours at night, too!"

Wasn't an A-6 tossed over the side of one of our carriers during the Gulf War of 1991?

If so, it may be worth the effort of a salvage project. Forget the Cessnas, I want an Intruder!
