A-4KU (BuNo 160196) was delivered to Kuwait as 817 on 13 August 1977 and sold to Brazil in 1999. The aircraft was redesignated into AF-1 with serial N-1011. The Skyhawk is seen here from the safe guard helicopter during its cat shot from the Sao Paulo. N-1011 collided over the sea during a training flight and crashed into the sea off Saquarema (Brazil) on 26 July 2016. The other Skyhawk was able to return to home base São Pedro da Aldeia NAS for a safe landing.
