    My neighbor flew US Navy A-4’s in Vietnam. His stories thrilled me as a kid. Great guy.

      The A-4K had the camels hump on top of the aircraft, this more likely a former Royal Australian Navy A-4G which were sold to New Zealand.

      @@damianlynch5977 The RNZAF A-4Ks had the camel hump removed in the late 1980s when the avionics were upgraded. It was called Project Kahu. You can read all the technical details on Wikipedia.

    It's always crazy to me that private Red Air groups are able to squeeze probably multiple decades' worth of service life out of older aircraft like the Skyhawk, Alpha Jet, Kfir, Hunter, Tiger II/Freedom Fighter, and of course now the F-16.
    The upgrades these groups do are insane, as well (Top Aces has a few ex-Israeli A-4N "Ayits" which they've modded with an IRST and AESA radar)

      And probably got them next to free. There's a good chance that some CEO of one of these "Private" operators is a retired General. It'd be interesting to see just what the actual cost for a used fighter jet is when you have connections? I have not facts about this, just my 2 cents and my frustration at the current state of affairs this administration has dumped onto a once proud Nation.

    A-4 is legendary jet. The best version was flown by the Singapore Air Force. They were known as the A-4 SU Super Skyhawk which had newer avionics and upgraded F-404 engine installed.
