The A-4Qs normally operated from the aircraft carrier “25 de Mayo” but this operation was launched from a ground base. Several bombs hit HMS Ardent but during their escape all 3 aircraft were shot down by Sea Harriers. Two of the pilots managed to bail out but the third aircraft A-314 flown by Lt. Marcelo Gustavo Marquez burst into flames in mid-air and he was killed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_JET_FTR_A004\"\u003eDouglas A-4Q Skyhawk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to replace the antiquated, propeller-driven AD Skyraider, the A-4 Skyhawk was first flown on June 22, 1954. Douglas exceeded the ori ginal design requirements by delivering a carrier-capable aircraft that was only half the Navy's weight specification and so compact that it did not need folding wings. The A-4 was the first to use \"buddy\" air-to-air refueling (an A-4 could refuel other aircraft of the same type), which was helpful when operating in remote locations where dedicated tankers were impractical. The A-4 served the US Navy until 2003 and remained the preferred warplane for the Marine Corps until the 1980s, even after the introduction of the A-7 Corsair II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clsCopyright\"\u003e© Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"airdrop militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49028474568963,"sku":"HA1419","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/airdropmilitaria.com\/products\/1-72-hobbymaster-ha1419-douglas-a4q-skyhawk-3a-314-flown-by-lt-marcelo-gustavo-marquez-3-escuadrilla-de-caza-y-ataque","provider":"airdrop militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
