A former adversary aircraft in maintenance at Chase Field. The Skyhawk was delivered to the US Navy in 1967, was modified to TA-4J in 1970 and was moved to VA-45. That squadron was redesignated to VF-45 in 1985. It served the adversary squadron up to early 1989 before it was moved to Training Wing THREE. Following its assigned at Chase Field, it was transferred to TW-1 at NAS Meridian (MS) up to late 1989. After its training service, it was scrapped at that location in 1999.
