A-4 'Super' Skyhawks Playing The Bad Guys In European Skies

The A-4 Skyhawk, first flown seven decades ago, is famed for its role as a Cold War 'red air' aggressor, and it lives on doing that mission to this day in Europe. Top Aces flies hugely-upgraded A-4 Skyhawks as contract aggressors in support of multiple air arms in Europe. These classic attack jets are both affordable to operate and easy to upgrade - making them ideal for this role. For this latest episode in our "Special Access" series, TWZ’s Jamie Hunter traveled to Germany to witness these modern-day Skyhawk operations up close and discovered that significant developments are on the horizon for Top Aces in Europe, principally the arrival of F-16s that will further enhance the company's private "red air" offering.
