The Skyhawk is one of the greatest aircraft ever produced imo. The fact that it's still in service almost 60 years after it's introduction just speaks to it's quality.

My father saw these himself rejoining the Kuwaiti army after previously being in the resistance, according to him there was one time where all the planes took off at the same time, American, British, Saudi, and more

Haha, the Kuwaiti A-4s certainly packed a punch even though they were virtually the only Kuwaitis fighting over their homeland...

Something special about the Kuwaiti's taste of camouflage, because even thier F/A-18 C&D Hornet camouflage is by far my favorite among all. However thier new E&F Super Hornet is plain boring grey.

@@IrisAviation91 absolutely sir! It was a very simplified version of the USMC A-4M. It came with the same J52P-408 engine as the A-4M. They deleted a lot of the avionics that was standard on the A-4M. Because of that, they could not carry the Walleye or Shrike, and they did not have the Hughes Angle Rate Bomb Sight (ARBS). That’s why they gave it it’s own separate designation from the A-4M.

@@FN_FAL_4_ever yea weirdly enough a lot of avionics were removed and it couldnt carry countermeasures. This was later modified to carry flares when bob danger requested it in 1991 before desert storm. It was said that they didnt want to modify it because kuwait ordered F18s in 1989 to replace the skyhawks and mirage
