A-4C "SKYHAWK"
A - ATTACK
4 - 4TH MODEL
C - 3RD MODIFCATION
The
Skyhawk first flew on 22 June 1954 and was in production for
over 26 years, with the last Skyhawk rolling off the assembly
line in 1979. It was affectionately known as the Scooter
or Heinemann's Hot Rod after its designer Ed Heinemann.
The Skyhawk was conceived to meet a Navy requirement of the
early 1950s for a carrier-based attack aircraft weighing 30,000
lbs. with a payload of 2,000 lbs. The Skyhawk's initial
empty weight was 15,000 lbs. and could carry a 5000-Llb. payload. This
Skyhawk was accepted on 12 April 1961 by the Navy and went
to Navy Attack Squadron-192 (VA-192), in 1971. This Skyhawk
was transferred to the Marine Corps Reserve and eventually
served at MCAS El Toro until replaced. Click here for a larger

A-4M "SKYHAWK"
A - ATTACK
4 - 4TH MODEL
M - 13RD MODIFCATION
The
Skyhawk first flew in 1954 and entered service with the
Marine Corps at MCAS El Toro in September 1956 with VMA-224 (Marine
Attack Squadron). 2,960 Skyhawks were built both
as single seat attack or as two-place advanced trainers. Some
of the dual seated aircraft were also used in the Forward
Air Control (fast FAC) mission. The last Marine squadron
transferred their A4Ms to the Marine Corps Reserve in 1990
after 34 years of first line service. The A-4 Skyhawks
played a major role during the Vietnam War providing close
air support for Marines while flying from expeditionary
airfields and from aircraft carriers. The Skyhawks were
also flown by the Blue Angels and still serve in many foreign
nations. This is the last Skyhawk to roll off the
assembly line. |

MIKOYAN-GUREVICH
MiG-15 FAGOT
German
and Russian designers developed the MIG-15 in 1946 1947. The
initial aircraft did not have adequate power until Great
Britain decided to supply the Soviet Union with a batch of
Rolls Royce Nene turbojet engines. The MIG-15 was built
in China, Russia and Poland. The MIG-15's airspeed and
maneuverability surprised allies when it made its debut during
the Korean War. The MIG-15 had a better climb rate,
ceiling and acceleration than Allied aircraft at the beginning
of that war. Click here for a larger picture and more
