Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk N518TA flew at the Planes of Fame Airshow on Saturday, May 14. 
The weather was overcast and much cooler than in recent years.:


I Have many photos taken at Planes of Fame Airshows at Chino on my web site at Air-and-Space.com

I think this is the same A-4 as Ned's from TOM as seen at AirVenture
(Markings back by the exhaust say A-4C)

Jay/Ned, Great shots of the A-4B.  I didn't know any B models were still flying.  Great paint scheme too.

[Warbird Keith]

was that N models shot @ Falcon field?

[Joe Copalman]

Yup.

I believe it's an A4D-2N which is an A-4C.  Nose is a little pointier than an A-4B (A4D-2). Gorgeous aircraft and photos. One of my favorites.

No idea if it flew in or was trucked in to be painted.  Hoping it flies out.

Speaking of Skyhawks, here's a VA-146 A-4C that I was commissioned to paint (airbrush) for a co-worker at Garrett during the 80's. His name was Hugh Magee and he had been shot down in this aircraft off of the coast of North Vietnam.  Quite an interesting story. There are some accounts of the event on the net.
