Developed to replace the A-1 Skyraider the A-4 Skyhawk was extremely lightweight
maneuverable inexpensive and didn’t need folding wings. One of the upgrades saw 499 A-4E’s
built, some received a lighter weight 8,500 lb thrust engine and some late production planes had
the 9,300 lb thrust engines as well as an upper fuselage “hump back” avionics pod added. All had
one hard point added under each wing, re-designed center fuselage, air intakes, and airframe
strengthening with bomb and navigation upgrades. Dubbed; “The Little Plane That Could”.
