With its Bureau Number scratched away, this Tomcat was performing a nice display over Oceana. It even flew with a Pitts Special in formation, with the Pitts upside down. Anyone for the BuNo?

Very lucky timing at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway to catch this colourful Osprey which dropped in from NAS North Island, apparently on a training flight designed to take in the restaurant in which my travelling colleague and I later also ate.

Assigned to Carrier Air Wing 13, this Attack Squadron (VA) 55 "Warhorses" Intruder was used in the air show at NAS OCeana (VA) on 19 September 1987. Only weeks later, on 28 September 1987, the squadron embarked its carrier, USS Coral Sea (CV-43), for a Mediterranean cruise. The intruder was delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and was withdrawn from use and scrapped at NAS Norfolk (VA) in October 1992.

Delivered to the US Navy in '72, stored at St. Augustine (FL) from May'95, dumped in Atlantic Ocean as artificial reef near Ponce de Leon Inlet (FL) in Jun'96. Attack Squadron (VA) 34 "Blue Blasters" was established as Fighting Squadron (VF) 20 (as "Jokers") on 15 Oct'43 and was redesignated through the years into VF-9A, VF-91 and VF-34 before it became VA-34 on 1 Jul'55. In '57 it was renamed into "Blue Blasters", from their blue tail colors and their nuclear weapon delivery capability. VA-34 was disestablished on 29 May'69 and re-established on 1 Jan'70, and became VFA-34 on 30 Sep'96.

Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron (VC) 12 "Fighting Omars" used this dark, 1963 built, A-4E Skyhawk. VC-12 used the JY tailcode, but this was not carried here. On 16 Jul'93, the squadron flew their last mission with the A-4 and transitioned a year later to the F/A-18A/B Hornet. VC-12 provided adversary training to East Coast Navy air wings. This A-4E was already retired to AMARC from Jan'78 to Jul'80 with inventory code 3A523, but returned to operational service. After VC-12 got rid of their A-4s, it was moved to the National Museum of Naval Aviation at Penscacola.

Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron (VC) 12 "Fighting Omars" used this dark, 1966 built, A-4F Skyhawk. VC-12 used the JY tailcode, but this was not carried here. In '88, the squadron was redesignated into VFC-12. On 16 Jul'93, the Fighting Omars flew their last mission with the A-4 and transitioned a year later to the F/A-18A/B Hornet. In 2006 they swapped to F/A-18C/D and in 2021 to F/A-18E/F. This Skyhawk was already retired to AMARC in Aug'93 with inventory code 3A722. It was moved from the storage depot in late 1994 and it appeared on the USS Midway museum in San Diego harbour from 2005.

A nice A-4F being towed away. This Skyhawk was once a Blue Angels star (see picture 155419 at AirHistory from August 1986). It was first delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and was stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A765 on 7 April 1994. It remained their up to 5 January 2005, after which it was scrapped by Fritz Enterprises at Taylor (MI). Adversary squadron Fighting 43 "Challengers" normally carried the "AD" tailcode, but this Skyhawk lacked that code. VF-43 was disestablished on 1 July 1994.

Delivered to the US Navy in 1979 and dumped at the Mountain Home (ID) range after it stranded with technical problems at Mountain Home AFB in early 1995. VA-35 was disestablished on 31 January 1995 and it appeared to be too expensive to repair the Intruder and fly it back to homebase NAS Oceana (VA) for such a short period. The Intruder was last seen in april 1995 at a range. Most probably it was completely destroyed by (air to ground) weapons, just south of Mountain Home is a fake-airfield, Saylor Creek Range, possibly it resided there.
