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.
