A-4C

The A-4C is a version of the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, a compact, agile fighter-bomber aircraft used by the U.S. Navy from the 1950s. Designed for attack missions, it features a single turbojet engine, a cockpit for one pilot, and a design optimized for carrying a variety of bombs and missiles. The A-4C improved on earlier models with better instruments and armament capacity, making it effective for close-air support, air defense suppression, and ground attack roles. Its versatility and simplicity made it popular among fighter crews and more affordable to operate.
