This latest CD from Aero Research continues with their fine series on the A-4 Skyhawk. To my eye, this one is better than the initial offering. It not only has more in flight images, but also has a goodly selection of fleet squadron aircraft, including a number of nice early A-4 aircraft that most modelers would love to see on a decal sheet. Units from China Lake to VX-5 are covered and this includes quite a few Marine units.

There are 167 images covering 315 megabytes of disc space. Each image has all the information about the aircraft including date and place photographed if it was known. You will also find CAG birds, commemorative markings, low viz and interim low viz schemes as well as a nice selection of aggressor aircraft, a role that the Skyhawk performed well decades after the last one was retired from fleet service. .

Like the other products of Aero Research, this one is a disc of eye candy that will be appreciated by modelers and fans of the aircraft alike. I am positive you will find to your liking.
