Went to Wittmundhafen AB Germany to try my luck for filming some A-4 Skyhawk flying activity.
It turned out to be a great day with 4 different A-4 Skyhawks flying on a sunny day and even more German Air force EF2000 Eurofighters were active also. They will be seen in my next video.

@@sidv4615 , Hi Sid, He passed in a tragic accident on the Coral Sea in Nov.1967. His name was Bill Searfus.
Great jets, RNZAF had A-4Ks until 2001. They used to fly super low over our farm. RNZAF A-4s now flying for Draken in the USA.
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Don’t talk about that haha
Aquí e Argentina hay varios de estos y que historia sobre Malvinas . Ahora no cuantos operativos hay. 👍
That Humpback (some I know call it a Hunchback) makes that Beast look So Damn Fierce & MENACING!!! :D
Cool indeed it is 👍
It has a purpose as the Skyhawk originally weren't made with it!
Awesome... We flew A4 Skyhawks with our RNZAF 👍🇳🇿
Thanks for watching mate 👍. Greetings from the Netherlands 😊
Those latter-day "humpbacks" to house extra EW/ECM gear really messed up the looks of this fine bird!

Awesome video of the A-4 Skyhawks mate! It's not a beauty, but very rare. Great painted tail on the first one, and nice tailhook check at 4:00. Great view on the takeoffs too! BIG Like! :)

Moin,ich komme aus Wittmund und finde die a4 ist das schönste Flugzeug
Danke, dass du dir das Video angesehen hast. Weitere Videos der A4 auf Wittmund finden Sie hier auf meinem Videokanal und ich werde in Zukunft auch ein weiteres Video der A4 auf Wittmund veröffentlichen :)
excellent video , liked
Thank you very much mate:)
excellent plane. My uncle was a4B argentine pilot during the Falklands War. where these planes were taken to the extreme limits and for which it was not manufactured fulfilling most of the missions.
Thanks for watching and your nice comment.
@@32tfs Used to go to Soesterberg regularly in the 1980s. (aafes contractor) Also Spang, Bitburg , Zweibrücken, Ramstein. Miss that world a bit.
For sure mis that time too. Been a lot of hours at the fence of Soesterberg in the mid 80ties during my youth. Thanks for watching my video hope you liked it.
Malvinas war.. respect your uncle...
Another outstanding video! Excellent stuff! Do you possibly have any more footage just after 2:39 showing the two pilots climbing into the cockpits? If not, could you try and get some at some point in the future if you get another chance? Keep up the fantastic work! Your videos are spectacular!
Thanks for your complement, and will try out your tip when I have the opportunity my friend.😊👍
My father flew these while he was i in the US Navy. He loved the A4 like many pilots did and said it would be around a good while
.The Navy used them over 30 years. Only the B52 was used longer
Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
which carrier did he serve on?
@@sidv4615 you asked me that question on another post.
Están hermoso estos cazas
Gracias por ver el video. No olvides revisar mi canal, allí encontrarás más videos del hermoso A4 Skyhawk.😊
Those are A4 skyhawks ex Israelis airforce with the extended exhaust 👍 cool video always,keep up the good work 😊
Thanks for watching and thak you for your support, appreciate it 😊👍
how does the extended exhaust help?
@@sidv4615with the extended exhaustion, the heat-seeking missile does not destroy all the moving parts for ascending and descending the elevator and directional rudder.

Skyhawks Forever.
Thanks for watching.
@@32tfs If I were The Sultan of Brunei I would have my own OA-4M and an F-5F for joyriding on Sunday.
Nice video and plane, perfect view i wll subcribe to you channel
Thank you for watching and your support to my channel, appreciate it.
Nice video from Wittmund! On which day were you the local?
Thanks, was there at tuesday 6th of august. It was the best weather forecast for that week. I had a nice day at the fence.
I was there that day. Did the 98+08 caught perfectly in the middle.
Ah Ok, don't know how to reach that spot in the middle of te runway position but can see in your videos that it's a good position, will try that spot a next time.
Mc Donell deberia fabricar una nueva edicion de estos aviones ... es el mas hermoso y no deberia dejar de zurcar los cielos !!! Unos 30 para la Fuerza Aerea Argentina 😊
¿Sigue volando la Fuerza Aérea Argentina el A4 Skyhawk?
un avion de ataque esta hecho para atacar, no para ser bonito, lleva obsoleto 30 años, con alas muy ineficientes, radar pesimo y sin motores actuales capaces de propulsarlo sin tener un alcance menor a 500km. Lo unico bueno que tenia eran los mavericks y los que pudieron llevar las paveway, a dia de hoy los peroes entrenadores ya destrozan en vida a esta pieza de museo, que es bonita, pero entrenar a pilotos de Eurofighter enfrentandolo contra un ladrillo con alas es inutil, deben comprar f16 y reemplazar a los a4
@@32tfsArgentina still flies A-4AR and Brazil still flies AF-1
Darn those look heavy compared to the A-4F "Super Fox" that I worked on.
Thanks for watching 👍
which squadron were you in?
@@sidv4615 TA-4F'sand OA-4M's at H&MS-12 in Iwakuni and A-4F's in VMA-142 at NAS Cecil Field.
@@Skyhawks1979 thats sooo cooll, from when to when did you work there? Also what was the difference in the Fuel capacity between the TA-4F and the A-4F
Who owns/flies these planes today?? Amazing!!
They are from the canadian company Top Aces and some of their fleet are deployed to Wittmund. Thanks for watching.
They provide services for training of the German Air Force. They are used as air targets for example.
These could be former Israeli's Air Force Skyhawks.
Yes it is former IDFAF 438 indeed. Thanks for watching.
these can be seen on FR24!
Thanks for watching.
