In April 1975 the USS Hancock (CV-19) was temporarily being used as a helicopter carrier in preparation for the evacuation of U.S. personnel in Saigon. In order for Carrier Air Wing 21 pilots to maintain their carrier qualifications they were allotted deck time aboard the USS Midway for a couple of days. This VA-212 A-4 is conducting a touch and go (tailhook is up). It was later assigned to the Blue Angels. On 13 July 1983 it was involved in a midair collision with A-4F 155029 over Niagara Falls, NY Airport and the pilot perished.

TA-4J of VT-22 over the Sierra Nevada Mountains enroute from NAS Alameda, CA. to NAS Kingsville, TX. I took this slide from another VT-22 TA-4J. This flight required a fuel stop at Albuquerque, New Mexico as the TA-4J did not have enough range with adequate fuel reserves to make it in one leg to Kingsville.

This is an unmarked TA-4J in the process of being delivered to Israel. The only markings on the a/c are "TA-4J" and the USN Bureau Number, with the last three digits in larger numerals on the fin and drop tanks. With the Israeli Air Force this a/c was marked as 704.

In July of 1975 USS Hancock (CV-19) was laid up at Naval Station Subic Bay undergoing repair. Carrier Air Wing 21 (CVW-21) was allotted a couple of days deck time aboard USS Midway (CV-41), operating in the South China Sea, in order for the aircrews to maintain their carrier landing qualifications. A-4F 155034 was retired to AMARC 29 March 1994. It was later transferred to Argentina for use as a parts airframe. The cable extending up to the aft fuselage is attached to the holdback fitting which is located under the fuselage. The fitting will shear when the catapult fires.

ex BuNo 148483. Former A-4C, being stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A0433 departed the storage depot on 5 February 1980. It was converted to TA-4S by 1983 and to TA-4SU by July 1992. This weird looking double seater was shipped to France in June 1998 and eventually withdrawn from use by late December 2012. During the deployed period, the Skyhawk was in use with 150sq at Cazaux for training of Singaporese pilots. The Skyhawks were replaced by M346 Masters. 902 is here in lovely late afternoon light during its landing at Chateaudun.
