McDonnell-Douglas A-4 Skyhawk

Thanks Mitchell...  I've got more coming but after I tried this one in B&W, it just begged to be edited and posted first.

Awesome job Jay.  Hopefully some day this scooter will fly on a day when I am not thoroughly obligated to be somewhere else.

Thanks Matt.  It was a very good day on several levels.

Jay. these shots are awesome.  Harkens back to the day when Skyhawk was in test.  Wow!

Interestingly enough, the first two-seater didn't fly until more than ten years after the first single-seater made its first flight.  

I ♥ A-4s.

Hands-down the most awesomely-restored A-4 flying (H&MS-11 is my all-time favorite Skyhawk operator). 

Wicked shot too.

Great catch Jay. She is a beauty.

Surprise departure out of Willie yesterday.
