An A-4 Skyhawk has returned to its former home in Australia.

April 24: The Royal Australian Air Force’s Air Movements Training Development Unit Load Team have moved an A-4 Skyhawk to its former home.

Former Royal New Zealand Air Force TA-4K Skyhawk NZ6255 originally served with the Royal Australian Navy as a TA-4G Skyhawk, serial N13-154911 (coded 880) with 724 Squadron between 1967 and 1984. It has been donated by the New Zealand government to the Australian Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross at Nowra, New South Wales.

The Skyhawk was moved by an RAAF C-17A Globemaster and will be re-assembled by the NZ Project Team before going on public display at the museum.
