Skyhawk of 150 Sqn. based at Cazaux.

A twin-seat Skyhawk of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 127 "Cyclones" at the ramp of homebase NAS Fallon. The adversary aircraft is even in rest closely and aggressively observed by its opponent in the back-ground, a VF-143 "Pukin Dogs" F-14A Tomcat.

There are striking color schemes and... there are striking color schemes. This one belongs to both categories I think! A-4F NJ-700 of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 127 "Cyclones" at homebase NAS Fallon. The hot rod was stored with 309th AMARG at Davis Monthan from 14 September 1992 onwards with inventory code 3A0679. Sadly, the airframe did not survive its storage period as it was scrapped by Fritz Enterprises in January 2005.

An A-4F of Strike Fighter Squadron 127 "Cyclones" prepared for a new mission over the Fallon ranges. This airframe once served the Blue Angels as number 4, and arrived with VFA-127 early 1989. Already before VFA-127 was disestablished on 23 March 1996, the A-4 was transferred to the Naval Fighter Weapons School (NFWS) at Miramar and served as code 54 from '91 to '92. Then it was transferred to Fighter Squadron 43 "Challengers" at Oceana with code AD-25. From Apr'94 onwards the Skooter was stored at AMARC where it was eventually scrapped in Jan'05 'Bullet/Elk', 3A0766 AMARC arr 7apr94/07jan05

This former USN A-4L BuNo 149516 has been painted to resemble A-4K NZ6207.

USS Intrepid

When with VA-76 (as NP-685) it shot down a MiG-17 on 20 May 1967. It was then wrecked on 23 June 1972 in a mid-air collision with A-7 158007 off St. Augustine, FL. Because of this an A-4 was painted up to represent this historic aircraft in the air show circuit. This is 142112 which carries the fake serial 148609 and FAA regn N49WH.
