Excellent work!!!
Splendid ! Love a lot your aircraft pic, as always. The colors choice is very good too. Bravo.
Great image and wonderful information! Thank you
If memory serves, i believe there is or was a US Marine Corp squdron of A4 Skykawks called "Black Sheep". Hey, wasn't this the little jet with nicknames like "Scooter" and "Tinker Toy Bomber"? I'm a Mil. History sofa student and love watching the histories of war machines. The little Skyhawks did pretty good, til they were overshadowed by the "Phantoms". love your mil work bro; keep it coming! 5+!
