The A-4 Skyhawk has a newer coat of paint since the photos that are on your website were taken. Today it is displaying its own BuNo 139931.

 

It was first at the Navel Recruit Training Facility here in Orlando, FL. When the facility closed the boot camp it was then hauled over to the research park just south of University of Central Florida where it now stands. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is located in Orlando, Florida, (20 miles northeast of the Orlando International Airport) where the simulation and training industry thrives. The NAWCTSD facility, also known as the de Florez Complex, is situated on 40 acres in the Central Florida Research Park.

Note: This A4 SKYHAWK was not flown by the Blue Angels. Tom Bispo (Blue Angel '64-'65)
