A-4 индонезийских ВВС
An Indonesian Air Force A-4E o/Skadron Udara 11 flares for touchdown at its Hasanuddin base in July 1999. The TNI-AU initially acquired a batch of 14 A-4Es and two TA-4Hs from the Israeli Defence Force/Air Force via the US Department of Defense in 1980, followed by a similar number in 1983 from the same source. Originally also operated by Skadron Udara 12 at Pekanbaru, this unit retired its Skyhawks when they were replaced by BAe Hawks in 1996, leaving Hasanuddin as the TNI-AU’s sole remaining Skyhawk base.Самолёты на фотографии: McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk - США - 1954

After a large number of Ahits were lost to SA-7s during the Yom Kippur War, the Heyl Ha’Avir had its A-4s retrofitted with an extended jet pipe to reduce the exhaust’s thermal signature. In spite of the censor's crude work, traces of the bird of prey markings of Tayeset 140 ‘Nesher Ha’Zahav’ (140 'Golden Eagle' Squadron) can still be seen on the fin of this ex-USN A-4E.
