Some irony in the fact that one of the last places you can see the Skyhawk being used is as a target towing platform for the Luftwaffe operating out of Wittmund, Northern Germany. These are ex-Israeli aircraft (the latest ones not even repainted yet) being flown under a BAE Systems contract for the German Government, some of them under civilian N numbers. Must have been an interesting export license application if nothing else.
