This Skyhawk was once assigned to the USMC and served VMA-311 as WL-22. It was thanked for its service and transferred to the US Navy (VC-2 as JE-10). As such it was stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A524 in 1978. It was returned to service and TOP GUN was happy with the skooter. The aircraft carried modex 52, 57 and 55 before it was transferred to VF-45 as AD-600 at NAS Oceana in the early 1991s. Since July 1994, the A-4E is preserved at NAS Key West (FL) as AD-106.
