This aircraft is not ex Argentina C-916! It is the former N261WL. I have no idea why Discovery have used the c/ns they have for registering their aircraft. All I can think is that all previously thought A-4 c/ns are wrong...

Super neat aircraft. Got to see the Blue Angels perform with them when I was little.

"Heineman's Hot Rod" -- a remarkable little plane.

I think the Israeli camouflage schemes are among the most attractive paint schemes applied to aircraft today, and their schemes are basically unchanged since the 1960s.

Steve, all of them were taken at Tucson TUS.They do the same thing when they come here. Make one or two passes and go.
