My neighbor flew US Navy A-4’s in Vietnam. His stories thrilled me as a kid. Great guy.

Brutal. A-4 eternos

¡Muchas gracias!

[@Rsojan]

A-4 still rocking. Scooters Forever !!!

[@robertneale5835]

The A-4K is ex RNZAF, you can see a small Kiwi roundel on the speed brake.

[@damianlynch5977]

The A-4K had the camels hump on top of the aircraft, this more likely a former Royal Australian Navy A-4G which were sold to New Zealand.

[@robertneale5835]

@@damianlynch5977 The RNZAF A-4Ks had the camel hump removed in the late 1980s when the avionics were upgraded. It was called Project Kahu. You can read all the technical details on Wikipedia.

[@b3stanga697]

I grew up next to a Naval Air Station (SOWEY) that had A-4s based there for 30 years. Miss seeing them screaming across the sky.

[@aprianto1985]

So great spotting area

[@32tfs]

Wow that "scooter" really looks cool. Thanks for this post 👍

[@Epicaviation47]

Awesome video

Dope A-f4's btw thanks for timing the lockheed martin plane spotting for me, i catched some brand new F-35's

[@AnibalNazo]

Hermoso a4 ❤

[@anibalalarcon48]

LITERALMENTE!!!

[@Tigershark_3082]

It's always crazy to me that private Red Air groups are able to squeeze probably multiple decades' worth of service life out of older aircraft like the Skyhawk, Alpha Jet, Kfir, Hunter, Tiger II/Freedom Fighter, and of course now the F-16. The upgrades these groups do are insane, as well (Top Aces has a few ex-Israeli A-4N "Ayits" which they've modded with an IRST and AESA radar)

[@TheGryxter]

And probably got them next to free. There's a good chance that some CEO of one of these "Private" operators is a retired General. It'd be interesting to see just what the actual cost for a used fighter jet is when you have connections? I have not facts about this, just my 2 cents and my frustration at the current state of affairs this administration has dumped onto a once proud Nation.

[@allgood6760]

I miss the A-4 Skyhawks down under but it looks like they ended up in good hands 👍✈️🇳🇿

[@00calvinlee00]

Awesome video! I was sitting in that A-4 last year.The Draken guys are awesome!!

[@mahmoodsoleja9068]

[@BlueRockerPR]

I hope to get footage of the Top Aces A-4s someday. Thank you for watching!

[@stevecurd3944]

@@BlueRockerPR your welcome,normally A-4's fly into Lakenheath with Topaces Alphajets

[@whiskeytango1744]

A-4 is legendary jet. The best version was flown by the Singapore Air Force. They were known as the A-4 SU Super Skyhawk which had newer avionics and upgraded F-404 engine installed.

[@luiscpb4158]

Dale gorditooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉

A4 Skyhawks = MALVINAS ARGENTINAS 🇦🇷

[@michelsouzaqwerty]

Is that a F-105 at 2:04?

[@BlueRockerPR]

Good eye! It is indeed an F-105. Thanks for watching!

[@charlievillarreal9867]

It’s now a savilean cargo airport and the airfield is shared with Lackland

[@dannydeters3274]

Drakken flies the A-4 ??? Got to order another 1/32

[@BlueRockerPR]

They sure do, with a fleet of at least 13 A-4s. Thanks for watching!

Kinston,North Carolina typically supporting the F-15Es from Seymour Johnson.

[@JuanFernandez-lg2pd]

Great and fkn sexy A-4!!!

[@rael5469]

That T-38 has a lamp burned out in the lower rotating beacon.

[@blacksails6327]

Yeah, it's beyond weird that you overdubbed audio from a C-5 taking off over the first clip of the C-17.

[@BlueRockerPR]

Every sound made from this video is original, so what you hear is the C-17 sound. Thanks for watching!

[@geraldrembert2461]

I thought Kelly Air Force Base was closed.

[@phillipsimmons5]

Its not been an Air Force base since 1995 but still is use for military use for all branches it a joint base.

[@charlievillarreal9867]

Eather that A-4 is new or modernize

[@rael5469]

Geeeez, what is the endurance of a T-38 on internal fuel only? Holy cow. They claim it has a range of over 1,000 miles. How can that be?

[@geauxtigersdjs]

Only about 2 hrs flying time, pretty normal range without aux tanks.
