ex BuNo 148483. Former A-4C, being stored at AMARC with inventory code 3A0433 departed the storage depot on 5 February 1980. It was converted to TA-4S by 1983 and to TA-4SU by July 1992. This weird looking double seater was shipped to France in June 1998 and eventually withdrawn from use by late December 2012. During the deployed period, the Skyhawk was in use with 150sq at Cazaux for training of Singaporese pilots. The Skyhawks were replaced by M346 Masters. 902 is here in lovely late afternoon light during its landing at Chateaudun.
