Locations of Skyhawks on Display
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
The Skyhawk Association has a goal of identifying the location of all A-4 Skyhawks
on public display throughout the world. A list of such displays appears below. Every effort has been made to ensure the list is as accurate as possible, but some data has not been verified. Viewer help in adding to or correcting the list is welcome.
Send update info to CHookSkyhawk@aol.com
BUREAU NUMBERS ARE IMPORTANT.
The only positive way to identify a particular Skyhawk is the six-digit Bureau (Serial)
Number (abbreviated "BuNo"). A BuNo is assigned only once and
never repeated, even after an aircraft is retired or destroyed. If a Skyhawk is
displayed in original service colors, or has been accurately repainted, the model
designation (A-4C, A-4E, etc.) and BuNo can be found painted on the aft end of
the fuselage, beneath the horizontal stabilizer. Occasionally, the last four
digits of a BuNo. are also painted in larger numerals elsewhere on the fuselage.
The BuNo of a Skyhawk can normally be found on embossed metal tags
attached to the instrument panel in the cockpit, and to the inside face of the nose
wheel door. It also should be recorded in the paperwork (aircraft
logbook,
etc.) that accompanies an aircraft upon transfer. A three digit side
number, usually painted on the side of the aircraft nose section, is a locally
assigned squadron, unit, or station marking and is not meaningful in
accurate identification of a particular aircraft.

Navy Cross
Edward Andrew Dickson
On Sunday, February 7, 1965 Lieutenant Dickson flew his A-4E Skyhawk
NL 503, BuNo. 150075, with Attack Squadron 155, from the USS Coral Sea
(CVA-43), during a strike against the Dong Hoi staging area in North Vietnam.
When his Skyhawk was struck by intense enemy anti-aircraft fire on a
low-level run-in to the target area and burst into flames, Lieutenant Dickson
elected to continue his run with his burning aircraft until he released his
bombs on the target. Following his attack, Dickson headed toward the sea where
he ejected from his burning Skyhawk. Unfortunately, he did not survive
and was listed as Killed in Action.
By his inspiring and courageous devotion to duty, Lieutenant Dickson upheld the
finest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Air Medal
Lieutenant Dickson is remembered on "The Wall," Panel 01E, Row 085.
