Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 133 "Dagons" operated out of NAS Alameda (CA). This Hot Rod was delivered to the US Navy in 1968 (served VA-55, -212, -127 and again -212) and was transferred to the USMC in 1975 and assigned to VMA-133. In 1989 is returned to the US Navy as an adversary aircraft with VFC-12. It was eventually stored at NAS Oceana in 1994 and reported dismatled on a lorry in late October 1994. The Skyhawk is preserved at the Empire State Aerosciences Museum, Schenectady County AP, Scotia (NY) since 1996.
