  • Question: Where do I find parts for a Skyhawk I am restoring or maintaining?
    Answer: Derco Aerospace, Inc., 8000 West Tower Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53223 and
    Kitco, Inc., P.O. Box 900, 1625 N. Mtn. Springs Pkwy, Springville, Utah 84663-0900.
    Both of the firms are licensed by Boeing to provide A-4 Skyhawk spare parts, drawings, and other manufacturing process data.
    Information on no-cost or low-cost replacement parts and pieces for A-4 Skyhawk restoration is best obtained via communication with other individuals or organizations (air museums, etc.) who have already been through that hoop. A list of A-4 Skyhawks on display and their locations is posted on the Skyhawk Association web site.
