Photo Comment

Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 133 "Dagons" operated out of NAS Alameda (CA). This A-4F was delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and assigned to VA-93. It then served VA-23, -144, and 127 before it was transferred to VMA-214 within the USMC in 1970. It returned to the USN in 1973 and was transferred again to the USMC with VMA-133 from 1975. It remained with VMA-133 until it was retired and preserved at Arlington (VA) from 1990.
