The first of some 350 Skyhawks to serve with the IAF was delivered on December 29, 1967, making Israel the 2nd largest operator of this aircraft outside the US. In 1985, Israel sold 30 A-4E's and two TA-4H's to Indonesia. Over the years, many more ex IAF Skyhawks found their way to North America. "421" seen here had US Bu number 159538 and was sold to Top Aces as N390TA after Israel retired the remaining A-4 fleet in December 2015. In July of 2022, this a/c was cancelled from the FAA register when the aircraft was exported to Canada.
