A-4 Skyhawk design details and history:

Note: Disclaimer - To: Covan
I admit I could have misunderstood the report I heard and didn't really check my facts out as you commented. I am very familiar with the following aircraft A-4, A-3, A-1E and F-8 along with many helo designs. I only saw blue rocket pods, 500 and 2000 lbs bombs and sidewinders and I can't recall what aircraft carried the Zuni's? So with this I in no way wish to imply McCain caused the incident. I'm a X-Navy man and have the greatest respect for all pilots and crew-members - yesterday and today. I also have the greatest respects for all branches of the service. Therefore I hope my apology is accepted. This also goes out to Mr. McCaine if he's listening.
