Summary[edit]

Description A Douglas A-4C Skyhawk on display at the main entrance of the 2006 Coronado Classic Speed Festival. The festival, held 7/8 October 2006, featured more than 225 of the world's top vintage racing machines competing for honors on a 1.6-mile (3.2 km) race course built on the runways and taxiways of Naval Air Station North Island (California, USA). The plane is BuNo 148516, painted in the colours of attack squadron VA-192 Golden Dragons, which made four deployments (flying the A-4C) as part of Attack Carrier Air Group Nineteen (CVW-19) (tail code "NM") aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) between April 1961 and January 1966. Before 1963 the A-4C was designated A4D-2N and before December of the same year the Carrier Air Wing had been designated Carrier Air Group (CVG).
