This former New Zealand Air Force A-4K Skyhawk (serial NZ6218) is now operating with a US commercial aggressor company based in Lakeland (FL). The Skyhawk still carries the colors of its once owner, but received a new serial and large Draken markings on its tail and fuselage.

Civil adversary/aggressor company Draken International operates some former A-4K's of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, like this N146EM that once was serialled NZ6217. These two are entering the Edwards AFB (CA) runway during Dutch F-16AM / F-35A integration tests. The Draken pilots made life of the Dutch pilots a tough as they could while performing red air missions during the F-16 and F-35 flights.
