A-4 - A Great Aircraft!

I flew the A-4M on exchange with the USN at NWC China Lake in the late 70's/early 80's.

Obsolescent it might have been then - but what a great machine and what a delight to fly. And very capable. Flew it on a RED FLAG, and certainly caught the attention of the trendy Tom Cruise F-14 brigade, and the F-15 mob!!

I loved the Hunter - but the A-4 was a step more capable, even though smaller.

So anything that can be done to save the memory of that great little machine deserves support.

My A-4 FOREVERFOREVERFOREVER t-shirt has been lost in the mists of time.

But my memory of the A-4 is certainly not lost.

Good Luck and I hope its memory can been saved.
