VA-144 A4C BuNo 149532 operating as War Paint 312 was upgraded to an A4L, refurbished by the Naval Air Museum, and is on loan to the Castle Air Museum in California in the markings of VA-204. In the 1966-67 deployment cruise book for USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 VA-144 made all their personnel pictures in front of 149532.

Was the pilot really Bull Durham, or is that just part of the War Paint job?

I don't know if the pilot was actually Lt.Durham or not. The planes were commonly flown by someone other than the name on the side of the aircraft due to damage, maintenance, pilot assignment rotations,etc.
