Every part and detail of the A-4 Skyahawk airplane is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the Blue Angels A-4. A4 Skyhawk Blue Angels wooden display jet is hand carved from solid mahogany and completely hand painted. Every A-4 Skyahawk display wooden aircraft is a work of art. The A4 Skyhawk Blue Angels plane jet is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original A-4 Skyahawk.
The A-4 Skyhawk was an American attack aircraft originally designed to operate from United States Navy aircraft carriers. The aircraft was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Corporation (later McDonnell Douglas) and was originally designated the A4D under the US Navy's pre-1962 designation system. Its primary users are United States Navy, and United States Marine Corps.
The A-4's nimble performance also made it suitable to replace the F-4 Phantom II when the Navy downsized their aircraft for the Blue Angels demonstration team until the availability of the F/A-18 Hornet in the 1980s. The last US Navy Skyhawks, TA-4J models belonging to composite squadron VC-8, remained in military use for target-towing and as adversary aircraft for combat training at Naval Air Station Roosevelt Roads. They were officially retired on 3 May 2003.
