This was one of three TA-4J Skyhawks used by the Blues. This a/c was used by the team Narrator and Event Coordinator who is usually a Naval Flight Officer (NFO). They arrive at each show site on Wednesday to ensure everything is in good order tor the airshow. The six show pilots and aircraft arrive on Thursday. 158722 is currently on display at the USS Lexington Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas.
