Douglas A-4G Skyhawk Bu 155061 made its maiden flight on July 31, 1967. It was assigned to VA-155 in October 1968 and reassigned to VA-212 in 1969 where it spent time in Vietnam. In 1971 the aircraft was sold to the Royal Australian Navy and delivered to VF-805 as N13-155061 (RAN code 874). In 1983 #874 was withdrawn from service until July 1984 when it was sold to New Zealand. The aircraft became NZ6216 and converted to a “K” variant and later donated to the Omaka Museum, New Zealand.

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a carrier capable light-attack bomber designed for the US Navy and Marine Corp. First flown in June 1954, the A-4s combat career began with carrier-launched raids over North Vietnam in 1964. The Navy began removing A-4's from its front-line squadrons in 1967, with the last one retired in 1975. The Marine Corps retired the Skyhawk in June 1994.
