A-4s flew in Seattle[edit]

The aircraft once flew from Sand Point Naval Air Station (now Magnuson Park): [1]. Perhaps a better source could be found, and this incorporated in the article. - Brianhe (talk) 08:04, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SPS with information[edit]

A Skyhawk fansite has some details about the two that were chosen for this piece. Trying to find some reliable sources to back this up, especially the "one of the earliest" claim. Sounder Bruce 03:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft type[edit]

The A-4 Skyhawk was an attack aircraft, not a fighter. It sounds silly to describe it as a fighter. --John (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'd be pedantic about that for several reasons. First, the readers of this article probably have no idea what an attack aircraft is, but a fighter is universally known. Second, the aircraft carried 20 mm cannon and AAMs and today might be called an F/A. Third, Fighter aircraft#Terminology describes how the terms are kind of arbitrary especially now considering aircraft like the F-117 deliberately misnamed. So, bottom line, no harm really in calling it a fighter. - Brianhe (talk) 22:42, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
