Description
Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk by Floyd Snyder
Built from June 1969, the two-seat TA-4J became the longest serving of the A-4 Skyhawk's as the US Navy's standard advanced jet trainer until replaced in the early 1990's with the T-45A Goshawk. The TA-4J descended from the Navy and Marine Corps single-seat light attack aircraft which was the Navy's and Marines' standard light-attack fighter for nearly 20 years. Originally designated A4D-1 and first flown (as XA4D-1) on June 22, 1954. The basic role for the TA-4J is that of an Attack Plane with a modified mission as a trainer. The Skyhawk played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War.
