A-4 Skyhawks alive and well in the USA
Posted by Nigel Howarth 11:15 AM on Apr 23, 2014
Whilst the USMC and USN retired their fleets of A-4 Skyhawks many years ago, there are several companies who still fly the Skyhawk, providing adversary flight services to miltary agencies. ATSI (Advanced Training Systems International) are one such company, operating as part of Top Aces USA. Based in Mesa, Arizona, ATSI fly out of Gateway Airport, the former Williams AFB, with a fleet of 10 A-4's, several of which are ex-Israeli.
There are several companies in the USA with fleets of A-4's, but their days must surely be numbered, as the youngest are now 40 years old and the oldest around 55.

Jeg besøkte gamle Williams AFB, nå Mesa Gateway Aiport, i 2011 og tok dette bildet:
