This former New Zealand Air Force TA-4K Skyhawk (serial NZ6251) is owned by Draken International, a US commercial aggressor company based in Lakeland (FL). The Skyhawk still carries the roundels and green colors of its once owner, but received a new serial and large Draken markings on its tail and fuselage. The aircraft is seen here in close formation with N146EM (ex NZ6217) during an unique pass through the Sidewinder of Death Valley. Both aircraft participated in Dutch F-35A versus F-16 integration tests and were operating out of Edwards AFB (CA).
