===A-6C=== [[File:A-6C VA-35 CVA-66 1972.jpg|thumb|A-6C of VA-35 ''Black Panthers'']] 12 A-6As were converted in 1970 to ''A-6C'' standard for night attack missions against the [[Ho Chi Minh trail]] in Vietnam. They were fitted with a "Trails/Roads Interdiction Multi-sensor" (TRIM) pod in the fuselage for [[FLIR]] and low-light TV cameras, as well as a "Black Crow" engine ignition detection system. Radars were also upgraded, with the AN/APQ-112 replacing the earlier AN/APQ-103, and an AN/APN-186 navigational radar replacing the earlier AN/APN-153. A vastly improved [[Sperry Corporation]] AN/APQ-127 radar replaced the AN/APG-46 fire control radar. One of these aircraft was lost in combat; the others were later refitted to A-6E standard after the war.
