Default Group raising money to bring Skywarrior to Whidbey Island

The last time I visited NAS Whidbey Island I was supprised not to find an A-3 Skywarrior on static display. However, "with a little help from my friend" there may be one in the future.

Aren't the remaining Raytheon/Van Nuys Skywarriors at Mojave?

Tom,

Thank you for the link. I can see four A-3s in the picture. Back in 1964 VAH-10 deployed to WestPac aboard the USS Constellation with 12 A-3s. This picture was taken early in the deployment.

Here's a shot taken the last time I stopped by Mojave in 2006.
