Photo Comment

This Skyhawk was built as a TA-4F and delivered to the US Navy as 153500. It was converted to TA-4J, after operational service stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A0614 in September 1991 and then sold to Israel with serial 748 in July 1994. In 2001, the TA-4J was to sold the US based Advanced Training Systems International (ATSI) as N251WL. The unmarked aircraft was delivered with two other surplus IAF A-4s via Malta to the States. They were parked on the static display. It was again sold, this time to Top Aces Corp in February 2016. In March 2018 the registration was cancelled. Fate unknown
