This Academe arrived at AMARC on 13 September 1994. It received inventory code 4G0004. The Gulfstream I departed the storage depot on 17 May 2012 and was then scrapped by HVF West, Tucson (AZ). The TC-4C Acamede with its A-6 nose section was a version with added instruments and navigation. It was used by the US Navy for bombardier/navigator training for the A-6 Intruder and EA-6 Prowler. The US Navy had nine in inventory, one crashed. Only one survived, and this one is in storage at Pensacola.

Based upon Gulfstream 550 N544GD, this unique conversion was first taken on charge by the USN's VX-30 "Bloodhounds" range and test unit based at NAS Pt Mugu, CA, in 2018. The NC-37's mission includes keeping missile ranges clear of hazards during tests, gathering telemetry data from launches and serving as a communications relay platform. It replaced one of the ageing NP-3D 'Billboard' range support aircraft but still awaits some further work as seen here at Tucson, where it is unfortunately not possible to photograph the aircraft sunny side other than by being airside.

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 The intruder was delivered to the US Navy in 1967 and was withdrawn from use and scrapped at NAS Norfolk (VA) in October 1992.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.

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.
