Former Israeli Air Force serial 344 (FMS serial 159523, delivered 21 Nov'74) was sold to the US based Advanced Training Systems International (ATSI) as N262WL. The unmarked A-4N Ayit was delivered with two other surplus IAF A-4s via Malta to the USA. They were parked on the static display. The Ayit did not survived as it expercienced a loss of engine power which resulted in a crash into the Great Salt Lake (UT) on 10 May'03. The pilot ejected but due to a failed parachute, the pilot and ejection seat simultaneously impacted the water very close together. No parachute was observed.
