The subject - the USMC A-4M Skyhawk
A-4 Skyhawk has been in service nearly 10 countries for nearly half a century since designed and developed from 1950s. A-4M is specifically designed for the needs of the U.S. Marine Corps and the performance of the A-4M is no longer the same as that of earlier versions. A total of 160 A-4Ms were built and final A-4M was delivered on February 27, 1979, which was the longest production run for any American tactical aircraft–27 years.
