Andrew Jones Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary C Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 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. http://www.atacusa.com/operations.htm Some more pics here... http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.sear...ine_version=6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
