CAPTURING A MOMENT IN TIME
| THE LEGENDARY A-4C SKYHAWK |
|---|
The restoration objective of this legendary 1960's vintage aircraft is to capture a significant moment in US Naval aviation history. The buildup and restoration of this aircraft provides a sense of place and time. Distinguished by its rich naval operating history, period materials, technology, and soundness of structural integrity, the Douglas A-4C Skyhawk and the men who flew them, serviced them and the materials and craftsmanship of that period are fast disappearing. Flying the aircraft in public exhibitions, maintaining the historic flight records, the materials and craftsmanship that contributed to our rich aviation heritage is central to capturing this important moment in time. |
