The Skywarriors (A-3s) are a little confusing to me...they are military aircraft but it appears that at least one has civil registration markings. Believe they were bailed by the Navy to Hughes electronics for system engineering and test flying weapon systems like the AN/AWG-9.

In any case, they have nothing personally to do with Mr. Hughes himself.
