This A-4B was assigned to the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit at NAS New Orleans. It wasn't on display at the airshow but was close enough to photograph. Note it is in maintenance, with the tailpipe partially out and a large fuselage panel removed. It eventually was converted into an A-4Q for the Argentine Navy as s/n 0657. It is currently on display at the Argentine Navy Headquarters in Buenas Aires. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
