This first production Skyhawk flew on August 14, 1954, just two months after the prototype XAD4-1. Designated as the first of sixteen YA4D-1s, it was brought up to full AD4-1 specs in 1960. Retired in 1969, it has been with the Naval Aviation Museum since about 1979, marked as it was in service with VA-83.
