Members gain access to the on-line Ready Room with additional data such as A/C Histories, AND receive the Quarterly Journal; three mailed and the fourth digital posted here for members; and the public.Notice to Skyhawk Association Members: The Summer Edition of The A-4Ever should have been delivered to your home by now, but when we tried to deliver the issue to the printers, we found out that the printer we’ve used since 2004 has gone out of business. We are working hard to connect with a new printer that can provide the high-quality publication you’ve enjoyed in the past and will mail a printed copy of this issue to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, we’ve posted the Summer Edition (Vol 25.2) on the Home Page of the Skyhawk Association (skyhawk.org) for your enjoyment. Bob Hickerson, Editor

 The 8,500-pound-thrust J52 engine was first built for the North American Hound Dog missile. With models producing 11,200 pounds of thrust, the J52 soon became the Navy's workhorse, powering McDonnell Douglas' A-4 Skyhawk series and Grumman's A-6 Intruder and EA-6B Prowler. More than 5,000 J-52 engines were produced, spanning nearly three decades. The Skyhawk Association would like to thank Pratt and Whitney for their generous support of our mission. |
