The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is an American single-engine carrier-capable lightweight attack aircraft designed for the United States Navy. Still in active service in a few countries, it has been retired by most operators. There are many examples of the Skyhawk preserved around the world, some airworthy and others on display, often in aviation museums and at facilities that once operated this aircraft.
