| Description |
A U.S. Navy Douglas A-4F Skyhawk (BuNo 154217) of composite squadron VC-7 Redtails, in the 1970s. Official NMNA description: "Accepted by the U.S. Navy on 14 September 1967, the museum aircraft entered combat almost immediately after assignment to Attack Squadron (VA) 113, completing a 1968 combat cruise in carrier Enterprise (CVAN-65). Joining VA-22 in August 1968, the aircraft made two more Western Pacific cruises to Vietnam waters before being put ashore at Naval Air Station (NAS) Atsugi, Japan. For the next five years it served subsequently Marine Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron (H&MS) 13, VA-127, and VMA-214. Assigned to Composite Squadron (VC) 7 and then Fighter Squadron (VF) 43, it served as an aggressor aircraft until joining the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron in 1985, flying in the Blue Angels' final year with Skyhawks. Initially transferred to the City of Pensacola, the aircraft was accessioned into the museum collection in 1988." |
