It is great to remember our history of flight in all of its varied ways.

Plane looks naked without drop tanks. It also lost it's tailhook and IFR probe.

@themold, It is going to be parked for good amount of time, so less weight is probably better.

MAPS at CAK is a gem if you ever have a chance to visit

@Roger Vazquez It surely is!

brings back a few memories

See the DMZ in your A4-E, America is telling you to go.

I didn't think the Blues ever flew the early model Scooters(?) - is this a museum repaint, or an ex-USN traveling exhibit?

@Bob Harrington, The website does state "our A-4A is painted and marked to represent an A-4F as flown by the US Navy Blue Angels Demonstration Team from 1974-1986." For more information visit: https://mapsairmuseum.org/douglas-a-4a-skyhawk-2/

I remember as a kid seeing the Thunderbirds flying F4's. It was so awesome.

i'm always amazed when I see the lack of searching present here; it's as if Google doesn't exist - sigh. Seaching for Blue Angels, the first return

Nice pic, avgeeked! If you change the Aircraft Type Code to just "A4" it should display correctly. Also, for chugheset, you might like a couple of my pics of a T-bird F-4 here:

Thank you, Greg Byington!!

Wouldn't a TA-4 be a 2 seater?....Keeps good company, an A-7 in the background.

Glenn Mottley, according to the Museum website it is a Douglas A4A.

done

Thanks, I think we can appreciate your knowledge base and thank you for sharing.
Glenn Mottley
a mentor, at your suggestion, a deeper dive to avgeeked's provided MAPS link (thank you!), revealed that this particular aircraft and I crossed paths a few times in our combined histories. Robert Sloane, ... indeed! "Brings back a few memories" Thank you all.

To show the other end of the A-4 timeline by BUNO, Seattle's Museum of flight has an A-4F (BUNO 154180) that did fly as a Blue. Link https://www.museumofflight.org/aircraft/douglas-4f-skyhawk-ii
