@ Santa Monica, CA
January 2018
Checking out the Santa Monica Museum of Flying for the first time, and saw this A-4 out front in Blue Angels livery. First flown in 1954, close to 3,000 were produced and had a long service life. The Skyhawk retired from USMC in 1998 and from the U.S. Navy in 2003. The Blue ANgels performed in the A-4 Skyhawk from 1974-1986. The A-4M variant was a dedicated Marine version with improved avionics and more powerful engine. Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
