Just watched the latest episode of NCIS on FX channel, the team visited a "US Navy Base" and there on the tarmac were an A4 Skyhawk and a Hunter FGA9 in a two tone blue/grey camo scheme. I never knew the USN operated Hunters.

It would be under contract from Northern Lights Combat Air Support a Canadian military contractor.

If there were Hunters and Skyhawks there then they probably belonged to ATAC, a company that provides A2A training to the USAF, USN and the ANG. They operate A-4N's, F-21's and Hunter Mk.58's. Lortie do a similar thing, but with Hunters only in Canada for the Canadian military.
