A4 Skyhawk
In Team Yankee
IRL
The A4 Skyhawk was developed in the 1950s as a lightweight, carrier-based attack aircraft, the first jet-powered aircraft to replace the Korean War A1 Skyraider. It was used by the US up until after the Vietnam War, where they lost over 300 aircraft during the conflict. Israel however had become the biggest export customer for the A4, using them well until 2008 through a series of upgrades, used for both bombing runs and dogfights during the Yom Kippur War.
