| A-4M Skyhawk BuNo 158182, flew with VMA-131 and was
delivered to the Marines in October 1971. 158182 also saw service with
VMA-331 "Bumblebees," VMAT-102, VMA-214 "Black Sheep," MAG-42, and VMA-131
within MAG-49 prior to being stricken from service in June of 1994. This old gal escaped the smelter and has gone to Skyhawk heaven and immortality with the Delaware Valley Historical Aviation Association, Willow Grove, PA. As you can see this Skyhawk has been lovingly restored by restoration manager John Benton and the Delaware Valley Historical Aviation Association crew. The insignia art by Gary Campbell depicts a link to the Diamondback's World War II, heritage. If you are close to Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, please drop in and visit this little old lady. |
