This A-4N Skyhawk from BAE Systems Flight Systems is slowing down on RWY08 - using its airbrakes and split-flaps - after another mission in support of JG71 at Wittmundhafen during the - very hot - spottersday for celebrating 50 years of Phantom II.
This colorful A-4N Skyhawk from BAE Systems Flight Systems is making a tight turn at the end of the taxiway, having just finished a mission in support of JG71 at Wittmundhafen during the - very hot - spottersday for celebrating 50 years of Phantom II.
An A4D-1 Skyhawk Bu.No 142219 marked as 'NL-314' of VA-53 'Blue Tail Flies' on display in the New England Air Museum. I understand that this collection was hit by a tornado a few years ago and now they have as many exhibits under cover as possible.
On display at Oriskany NY, this is NA-4E Bu.No 148613 on display at the poignant USS Oriskany Museum/Memorial, I think marked for VA-164. Photo taken wrong side of the sun, also the original ship's bell visible to the left.
NA-4E 148613 from the sunny side in Oriskany's Trankaus Park, wearing a dual colour scheme. I was delighted to see Cdr Wynn Foster aka 'Captain Hook' named on this old gal. My reference books record her as being preserved at Lowry AFB a few years back.
