A-4 Skyhawk Blue Angels Hand Held History:
The A-4's nimble performance also made it suitable to replace the F-4 Phantom II when the Navy downsized their aircraft for the Blue Angels demonstration team until the availability of the F/A-18 Hornet in the 1980s. The last US Navy Skyhawks, TA-4J models belonging to composite squadron VC-8, remained in military use for target-towing and as adversary aircraft for combat training at Naval Air Station Roosevelt Roads. They were officially retired on 3 May 2003.
The Blue Angels Skyhawk display airplane's parts including the fuselage, wings and glass cockpit are extremely accurate and precise patterned after the original aircraft. Latest innovations and operation procedures are employed in the over-all manufacturing of our Skyhawk mahogany airplane. This A-4 Skyhawk military desk top mahogany display is glossed with clear lacquer to provide long lasting protection as a finishing touch. The A4 Skyhawk model military trainer is meticulously handled and especially handcrafted by our highly-skilled craftsmen with the use of premium class materials. We carefully supervise operation and manufacturing procedures and pay attention to smallest details to deliver an incomparable work of art that would surely entice aviation enthusiasts and military model plane hobbyists. The A-4 Skyhawk Blue Angels model wooden trainer plane is supplied with a mahogany base for display.
