This is an updated livery (2.0) of the John McCain A-4E Skyhawk (149959) he was flying when he was shot down over Vietnam in 1967. New livery icludes better details and weathering. The livery itself is from the U.S. Navy attack squadron VA-163 Saints. Only difference from the original is the "LCDR JOHN McCAIN" name tag added under the cockpit to denote his final rank in the Navy. RIP John and fly on.

A fictional recreation of the original Royal Canadian Air Force CF-101 Electric VooDoo for the A-4E-C plane. Enjoy.

This is an enhanced checklist for the A-4E Skyhawk. It includes optimized startup, takeoff, cruise, fence in/out, refueling, approach, and landing checklists.

Fly an Iron Hand mission to take out a pesky SAM site guarding Haiphong Harbour.  

Fly low and fast. Pop up and aim your Shrikes at the SAM radar.  Once it is down you can follow up with your zuni rockets to take out the launchers themselves.

A scoring system is included.  Re-fly it and try to improve your score.

A fairly straightforward mission.  Easy to fly, hard to master.  Taking out the SAM site should not be a challenge if you fly the planned route.  But you'll have to do it using the Navigational aids the A-4 gives you.  Once you have the radar down the real fun begins.  There is a lot of low level AAA about. How many launchers can you get with your 8 rockets and live to tell the tale?

Here it is! The quick to play Top Gun mission you've always wanted. Fly as Maverick over the gorgeous desert landscape of Nevada and see if you can win against Jester, Viper, and the other instructors. You'll be joined by Iceman & Slider, Cougar & Merlin, and Wolfman & Hollywood.

This mission features variable triggers to provide some variety and replayability, as well as some surprises in a couple permutations. Be ready for anything!

The freeware community A-4 Mod is required. This mission is designed to be quick and fun, and something you will want to fly again and again to scratch that Top Gun itch. I can also make a modified version with airstart and faster action, if requested, or multiplayer. Happy to do that.

Your comments are welcome and encouraging, so speak up if there's a question, concern, comment, or change you'd like me to make. I am responsive to your feedback and requests. Also, don't be shy if something is broken.
