JETs Vol. 26-06: U.S. Navy Blue Angels A-4F Skyhawk

Our first of 3 demo team JETs this year is a real banger!

We acquired a rudder from a former Blue Angels A-4F Skyhawk last year, and we are chuffed to bring it to you in JETs (and Air Drops) form. This rudder was originally discovered at a scrap/boneyard. It was painted in Blue Angel Blue and had remnants of the original yellow tail number: 6, the Opposing Solo.

The Blue Angels operated the A-4F Skyhawk from 1974 to 1986. Replacing the larger F-4 Phantom II, the compact, highly maneuverable A-4 allowed the team to return to tighter formations and more nimble aerobatics. The Blue Angels modified their A-4Fs with smoke systems and removed equipment to reduce weight and improve aerodynamics. The Scooter’s small size, reliability, and spirited performance made it a favorite among pilots and fans alike. The Skyhawk was replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet in 1986.

We called on all our regular artists to bring this jet back to life - giving you 3 card variations to choose from. In addition to a laser etched tag, each tag will be offered in full color printed variants featuring the card art. All JETs will ship with a blue and a yellow “bone.”
