Early in the spring of 1981, Steve Kurt got a ride in the back seat of a VMAT-102 TA-4J Skyhawk, to chase a student flying an A-4M familiarization flight. Fortunately Steve brought along his Canon AT-1 camera with 50mm lens and using Ektachrome 200 film. The following is a photo study of 159786 during that flight from MCAS Yuma. This picture shows the port side of 159786 in level flight.
